Taste Test: Grace Gillespie weighted with digital decay on ‘Human (Heart)’
Folk-rocker attempts to express her frenetic emotions with a new romper.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Living in the digital world is as if your mind is being fed through a flesh-hungry prism creature. We’re gutted from the inside out, and our thoughts are no longer just our own, later reimagined as a self-destructive Picasso painting. Borrowing healthy injections of folk and rock, London torch-bearer Grace Gillespie dissects her inability to come to terms with her feelings or aptly express them in any meaningful ways. “Human (Heart)” throbs and glows, emitting a ghastly color spray up into the air, unleashing mayhem in its wake. The pieces later fall back to land and puncture the outer shells of our skulls and the earth itself. “I’m only trying to get to know your worst / I don’t care for all of the rest,” she withers in cool, muted whispers. The conversation quickly splinters off into a million different strands, remaining very much her own story but budding in ours, as well.
“Human (Heart)” is Gillespie’s first single of the year and is featured on a vinyl-only release of curated music via James Morrison on Richer Unsigned.
