Hatchie Announces 'Sugar & Spice' EP & Debut Headline Australian Tour

Hatchie has today announced details for her debut EP, Sugar & Spice, and the supporting tour which will be the singer's first-ever headline run of Australia. 

Due out on 25 May, the burgeoning songwriter has also delivered the title track for the EP today before she heads out for shows in Melbourne, Sydney and her hometown of Brisbane in July — give the single a spin below.

"After writing music that never felt cohesive or special enough to warrant its own venture, Try marked a shift in my writing style I wasn’t expecting," Hatchie said of the upcoming EP.

"I wrote it in early 2015, followed quickly by Sleep and Sugar & Spice. They were written more for myself than for a specific project, in an effort to explore feelings of vulnerability and ecstasy I had previously suppressed.

"I wanted these songs to sound lush, sparkly, and recreate euphoric feelings I experienced falling in love for the first time. I reworked my demos with Joe Agius, whose production and writing additions achieved the perfect sound I was searching for, giving me confidence to start taking the songs more seriously and continue writing.

"The songs on Sugar & Spice were all written without much thought or pressure from myself or anyone else, allowing me to lay my feelings out like I’ve never done before. Joe and producer John Castle helped shape the sound you can hear in each track, bringing life to each song in its own special way."

Tickets for the tour are on sale now. Hatchie will also be supporting DMA'S on their Australian tour this June; for more details, click on theGuide.
