Mykki Blanco has announced a new EP.
The six-track 'Postcards From Italia' will arrive on September 22 via Transgressive and serves as the follow-up to their 2022 full-length release 'Stay Close To Music'.
Again produced alongside FaltyDL, the project explores what Blanco describes as their "Italian cowboy era". As a preview, the California artist has shared the EP's energetic closing track, Holidays In The Sun, which is propelled by dancey beats. Blanco said:
"Holidays In The Sun was created funnily enough in a basement in Portugal on Christmas Eve. Produced by William Eaves of Somerset, written by Mykki Blanco with additional writing and vocals by artist ZamZam, the song is a feel good summer anthem about lazy summer days swimming in the sea, hopping from one music festival to the next, feeling good about life and living la dolce vita soaking up the sun.
"The song is a summer rave bop with nods to '90s euro dance and acid house stretching itself, hitting every corner of the world from the beaches of Ibiza and Naples to warehouses parties in London and Berlin. ENJOY!"
Blanco has festival slots scheduled in Denmark, France and Greece in September, and an appearance at Pitchfork Music Festival in Berlin, Germany on November 4.
'Postcards From Italia' tracklist:
1. Magic On My Back
2. Johnny
3. Just A Fable
4. Tequila Casino Royale
5. Love Fell Down Around Me
6. Holidays In The Sun
