The Green Child – Shimmering Basset

The record was preceded by the singles ‘Double Lines’, ‘Low Desk / High Shelf’ and ‘Fashion Light’, though it was never officially announced.

The duo were initially a long-distance project between Young and Mahon, releasing their eponymous debut in 2018 while the latter still lived in California. The pair now live together in the seaside Victorian town of Rye, where they recorded ‘Shimmering Basset’. The sound of the new album is more lucid than their haze of their debut.

“It feels more cohesive because over the year or so in which we wrote these songs I started to feel a desire to take the lyric writing part more seriously… my head is rooted in this new place now and that’s settled into the songwriting,” Mahon said in a press statement.
