Katy Kirby had shared ‘Hand to Hand’ ahead of the release of new album ‘Blue Raspberry’ via ANTI- Records on 26 January.
The song – written while ‘witnessing the gory breakdown of several relationships/couples at the same time’ – starts in a sparse and evoking fashion that recalls Lomelda or Adrianne Lenker as Katy discusses her feelings and fears around commitment: ‘With no discernible logic we’ll circle the lake and we’ll strike up a bargain. It’s a pact, it’s a covenant’.
