After releasing Sad Girl Theory's first single, "White Walls & Promises" in March, Le Pie told a heartbreaking story of motherhood, love, and loss. The track was partnered with a film clip from cutting edge cinematographer, Hannah Dougherty, and a musical score that sounds as though it could sit perfectly on the Twin Peaks soundtrack.
On the flip side of heartache, are the feelings of lust, butterflies, and excitement of a new relationship. "Go Unsteady" is the second single to be released from Sad Girl Theory, a romantic indie-pop tune with a hint of naivety. It opens the EP with high hopes, "The night we met, boy you stole my stubborn heart". The remainder of the EP takes the listener on a journey through the complexities of long-term relationships, motherhood, self-doubt and sadness.
Le Pie's 2017 sophomore EP, Sad Girl Theory won't disappoint those who have already fallen in love with her brand of dark, dreamy, indie rock. Written by Le Pie and co- produced by Le Pie and Tim Carr, Sad Girl Theory showcases a bolder and more refined sound. Layered vocal harmonies and catchy pop hooks are set to the reverb and distortion-drenched guitars we have come to know and love from Le Pie.
Full of deeply personal lyrics, Sad Girl Theory is a journey into Le Pie's experience of motherhood, marriage and the realities of contemporary relationships.
"The title of this EP references the work of young American visual artist, Audrey Wollen. She looks at female sadness and internalized struggle and frames them as forms of resistance. What is wrong with being sad? Why am I expected to walk around and smile just to make other people comfortable?"
