Becky and the Birds – To trust you

Ahead of the release of her debut album, Only Music Makes Me Cry Now, out this Friday 15 November, Swedish artist Thea Gustafsson – aka Becky and the Birds has unveiled the record’s final teaser in To Trust You. Just shy of 2 minutes 30 seconds of pure pop indulgence, the track’s soft notes and plinky synth melodies steadily dissipate in to choppy vocal samples and pulsating electronics as its charging guitars and percussion take hold. Sharing more details about the track’s thematic content Gustafsson goes on to say: “This song is for anyone who’s dealing with trust issues. When something has happened that broke your trust for someone, how do you find it again and not let it eat you up forever in every way possible? And most importantly, how do you trust yourself and your intuition without going insane? I wanted the production to work with this concept to soundtrack the madness and darkness that one can get stuck in.” Take a listen for yourselves below.

Only Music Makes Me Cry Now is out this Friday, available digitally and on Standard Black vinyl exclusively via the 4AD webstore. Find more information HERE.
