Banoffee - Look At Us Now Dad (Vinyl)
Born in Melbourne and currently living in Los Angeles, Banoffee has cemented herself as a singer, songwriter and producer with a musically transgressive and deeply vulnerable approach to music. She has toured with Taylor Swift on a worldwide stadium tour as part of Charli XCX’s troupe and represents the new wave of mutant pop bubbling up from the queer club underground. She has been described as one of pop music’s “recent great forward thinkers” (FACT) and is known for infectious melodies that belie more unsettling, experimental textures and beats.
Look At Us Now Dad is an uplifting, optimistic journey that celebrates survival in the face of abuse and adversity. Featuring collaborations with SOPHIE, Empress Of, Cupcakke and Umru, and co-produced by Banoffee and Yves Rothman, it is a kinetic hybrid of experimental club sounds and earworm pop. “Each song uses human experience to talk about more complex concepts of addiction, obsession, heartbreak, and resurrection,” says Banoffee. “Not to dwell in sadness, but to join hands.”
The album was written in the years after the artist moved to Los Angeles from Melbourne seeking a fresh start after a mental breakdown. Meticulously studying what caused her collapse Banoffee examined her life with a fine-toothed comb in order to reclaim her narrative, and grow from victim to survivor. Look At Us Now Dad tells a story of survival - of abuse, sadness, and loss - and is a testament to the possibilities of rebirth. As Banoffee puts it: “Each track is about a struggle and achievement that anyone could experience, the ones that seem so trivial. We’re all survivors for one reason or another.”
