Piney Gir presents her sixth album, mR hYDE'S wILD rIDE, released in June 2015 via Damaged Goods. The album collates twelve pop stories about a young woman coming to terms with the hope and regret that accompanies love and loss. Piney's easy way with melody belies an album of new and different shades. Album opener "Gold Rules' is a finely-honed, heavenly tune even as the song celebrates unreachable riches and glibly states the fact, "you can't take it with you anyway." First single, Keep It Together, deftly channels 60s beat pop and Stereolab all at the same time - a lover's lament laced with urgency and optimism, piped-in directly from her space-age, bachelorette pad. Other stand-out tracks include "Tilt A Whirl', a piece of fairground philosophy that dates back to Piney's childhood years when she would accompany her grandmother on something akin to the Waltzer. As the song spins, with Farfisas swirling around life's ups and downs "like a shooting star or a hope combustible..." become metaphors among the lights and sounds. ouse Of A Ghost' fuzzes up like Pineys-in-Toyland channelling her inner riot grrl, with boxy guitar blasts that remind us all that you can rock just as hard, if not harder, in a gingham dress.
