On her third album, Like Plasticine, Gordi - aka Sophie Payten - reflects on the last few transformative years of her life. From coming out and having to adjust the vision of her f uture, to working as a doctor on the frontline during the pandemic, Gordi explores the beauty, heartbreak and finite nature of human experience across 12 new songs. There’s the effervescent, euphoric pop of ‘Peripheral Lover’, the drama and intrigue of the fractured, experimental ‘Alien Cowboy’, the pain and anguish of songs like ‘PVC Divide’ and more tender moments like the absolute gift of ‘Lunch At Dune’. Throughout the entirety of the genre-bending Like Plasticine, Gordi’s vocals are at the fore, layered over experimental, intelligent production. No two songs are the same, each its own unique part of the whole. All songs are charged with emotion and insight, taking the listener on a breathtaking, cerebral journey along the highs and lows of Gordi’s life (and in part their own). “Being surrounded by death made me think about how beautiful life is…. I thought about all the ways we are like plasticine in life - how forces we can’t control, contort us into shapes, stretch us thin, and test our resilience. But sometimes, heart-wrenching change can be a thing of beauty.”Tracks1~1~Gd (Goddamn) 1~2~Alien Cowboy 1~3~Cutting Room Floor 1~4~Peripheral Lover 1~5~Lunch At Dune (Feat.
