Multi-talented artist Party Nails, aka Elana Carroll, is back with her third album, 'Pillow Talk', and it's an eclectic mix of musical styles that's as unpredictable as a late-night sleepover.
Released on January 8th via Eye Knee Records, 'Pillow Talk' sees Carroll ditching the blues and embracing a "honey coloured party mood." From the indie rock anthem 'Same Old Song' to the shimmering synth-pop of 'First Responder', the album is a sonic rollercoaster that takes unexpected twists and turns. Think retro synthwave crashing into futuristic electro-pop, with a generous helping of lush indie rock thrown in for good measure.
Carroll, who first honed her musical skills as a guitar-wielding teenager in Chatham, New York, has never been one to shy away from experimentation. Her love of music technology, sparked by early days recording on Garageband, shines through on 'Pillow Talk'. She effortlessly blends genres, creating a sound that's both timeless and forward-thinking.
But don't be fooled by the album's playful title. 'Pillow Talk' dives deep into a range of emotions, from playful and brash to intimate and confessional. Tracks like 'Movie Scene' and 'Do U Know How' showcase Carroll's ability to weave intricate sonic tapestries, while 'Trigger Warning' and 'Dirty Water' offer moments of raw vulnerability.
This album is more than just a collection of songs; it's an experience. As Carroll herself puts it, "I hope 'Pillow Talk' soothes you and emboldens you as it has me. May it be your friend you fall asleep next to mid-sentence, smiling."
With 'Pillow Talk', Party Nails has created a musical haven where you can let your guard down and embrace the unexpected. So put on your pyjamas, grab your favourite snacks, and get ready for a slumber party that will leave you feeling anything but sleepy.
