It hasn’t been long since we wrote about Pisgah. Celebrating her comeback record ‘Cumulonimbus’ earlier this month, we proudly declared it “melancholic, yet euphoric, oscillating between the two extremes with masterful restraint and understated elegance”. We stand by our words, and in fact, we’d argue that such an emotional rollercoaster is one of the foundational qualities in Pisgah’s catalogue. Finding refuge in relatable indie goodness, the London-based creative has become familiar with looking inward, exposing relatable inner conflicts and past traumas.
‘Favor’ confirms such a belief. Pisgah’s latest effort, the record explores the destructive push-and-pull of a failing relationship, as one side tries to live up to impossible standards. Wrapped in grunge-flavoured guitars and ethereal harmonies, ‘Favor’ dives deep into a nostalgic post-mortem of a rather hard time in Pisgah’s life. Perhaps it will serve as an inspiration for anyone out there going through the same emotions.
Anticipating the project’s upcoming EP ‘Faultlines’, ‘Favor’ benefits from the expert production of Austin-based Dan Duszynski (Jess Williamson, Loma), helping Pisgah develop a world-class sound that’s both friendly and gritty. Delving deeper into the song, the rising songstress explains: “I wrote ‘Favor’ at a really difficult time, when I was in the middle of falling out with someone close to me. I felt myself trying so hard to meet their expectations, and feeling completely incapable because I couldn’t stop abandoning my own needs in the relationship”.
