Pet Owner – After Summer

Swiss experimental artist Pet Owner has held a special place in our hearts for some time. She’s back today with a wonderful new single, called ‘After Summer’.

Crafted as a ‘hyperfolk ballad’, this song really is an experience; lyrically introspective – inspired by the theme of ‘wanting to sense it all, yet feel nothing’ – while sonically avant-garde and refreshingly intriguing.

As the world keeps spinning relentlessly, the voice seeks a split second of silence. “Dancing on my own as if there’s no tomorrow.”

If this is your first time listening to Pet Owner, then be sure to check out her previous records on Spotify, where she currently draws in more than 4k listeners and has amassed more than 70k streams to date.

New Music: Pet Owner

Hailing from Switzerland is promising new songwriter Lea Mathis, aka Pet Owner. Through a unique style of music-making, this artist constructs interesting sonic worlds that feature nostalgic beats, folky guitar riffs, quirky noises and elapsed synths.

Taken from the upcoming album ‘Natural Behaviour’, new single ‘Hysterical‘ is a melodic and expressive blend of lo-fi pop and indie.

“The track is poetic and playful and contains a healthy pinch of self-irony: ‘I didn’t have time / to put it nicely’ is the last line – and reminds us to practice what we preach.”
