Description

If you were fans of Life, Another (Paradise of Bachelors, 2021) then this one takes everything up a notch...or two! Co-produced with James Krivchenia (Big Thief), Erin Birgy aka Mega Bog takes a giant leap towards a more danceable aesthetic whilst losing none of the drama. A seemingly disparate jukebox of sounds – ranging from Thin Lizzy, Bronski Beat, Franco Battiato and Ozzy Osbourne to 90’s house classics like Haddaway’s “What is Love” and Corona's “Rhythm of the Night'' – foregrounded a new punchy theatricality in Birgy’s music. The album features both Hand Habits and Westerman.

End of Everything was written in 2020, Birgy whilst surrounded by seemingly endless turmoil: mass death, a burning planet, and a personal reckoning when past traumas met fresh ones. Living in Los Angeles, against the backdrop of horrifying forest fires, she questioned what perspective to use moving forward in such dumbfounded awe. Deciding to seize something tangible, she produced a record that spoke of surrender, of mourning, and support in the face of tumultuous self-reflection.

Writing on piano and synthesizer instead of the familiar guitar, Birgy explored a spectrum of new sounds to illuminate a state of volatility and flux that was both universal and personal. Midway through producing End of Everything, Birgy made the personally necessary choice to get sober and work through experiences that had begun affecting her ability to communicate creatively. Speaking of this transition, she describes the need “to feel… instantly. I didn’t want to dig into secret codes. I no longer wanted to hide behind difficult music. I was curious to give others the same with the music I create; to make music someone could use to explore drama, playfulness, and dancing, to shake the trauma loose.”

Playlist

Drift Recommends


Alongside a weekly playlist of new and old tracks (tune in via the news section), all of the Drift staff also contribute to a weekly 'Drift Recommends' playlist.

Updated every Friday, it's full of new tracks that we love, absolute bangers that have popped back into our heads and all sorts of other weird avenues. It is supposed to sound a little bit like that feeling of walking through the door at Drift.
