"Sonically, I wanted the song to be a strange, lopsided introduction to the album," Pickle Darling says of 'Achieve Lift', the opener to their sophomore album, 'Cosmonaut', which was released last year.
The album follows up 2019's 'Bigness', and sees the Christchurch multi-instrumentalist's sound ascend to a new dimension both literally and metaphorically, with the nods to space seen in the visuals for the project, and songs like 'A Deep Breath' with the lyric, "Planet declares defeat / The missile ascends."
