In 2022, Aubrey Haddard’s vision is guided by the great European songwriters of the 1990s and 2000s. On the New York-based singer-songwriter’s second full length release, Awake And Talking (out August 2022), Haddard arrives with an explosive, avant-pop catharsis in tow on “Just A Wall,” the music of Stereolab, Cocteau Twins and Björk presenting their arty influence. Awake And Talking is a far cry from Haddard’s soulful and knotty debut, 2018’s Blue Part. Since relocating from Boston to New York in 2019, six months before the world turned, Haddard and her trio—made up of writing partner and multi-instrumentalist Charley Ruddell and drummer Josh Strmic—methodically and meticulously fleshed this group of songs with the intent of perfection: To truly capture a sound that was created in the likeness of their heroes. What resulted was an album that constantly smacks and pulses, each song standing alone as its own body of work, the throughline of which is an unmistakable reverence to melody and self-examination.
