Sometimes the most beautiful music isn’t about winning, it’s about failing gracefully. Today, Australian shoegaze artist Singer. Mattress. Cat. introduces his raw debut album Subtropical Personality. Arriving December 1, the release of Little Broken Moon the ballad reflects on heartbreak, fractured relationships, and survival. On “Little Broken Moon,” Martin Cooke muses on the heartbreak of first love and the bittersweet need to leave everything behind in order to grow. Mastered by GRAMMY-nominated engineer Chris Gehringer, the track captures the fleeting yet formative nature of fractured connections. As Cooke reflects on the album:
The album is a homage to that wildness of my childhood and all the friends who turned to crime to survive. I am the one left holding the torch to tell their stories. I have always lived by the notion that music, or any art form for that matter, should be about failing beautifully. Embrace your failures, for your success will be the death of your art. I have been failing forever. I would never have it any other way. As long as I like the stuff I write. And I guess that is all that really counts.
From his beginnings with Gaslight Radio, the debut LP "Subtropical Personality" marks the next chapter for Cooke. Written over two years on NYC’s Lower East Side and recorded in Melbourne, "Subtropical Personality" distills memories—both joyful and devastating—into lo-fi textures and melancholic humor.
