Harriette Pilbeam, the Brisbane-bred artist behind Hatchie, created a stir with her EP Sugar & Spice last year and was consequently invited to support Kylie Minogue. Keepsake succeeds its expectations and propels her forward.
Her Own Heart is an ethereal dose of dream-pop that conjures up The Sundays and early Cranberries on a cloud of melody, Unwanted Guest is an epic slice of industrial pop that wears its '80s influences proudly and Obsessed carries the swagger of '90s Garbage. Confident and fully realised, Hatchie has arrived as a star of the future.
