A boy is a bee You will always have control of me Little by little I’m dying for my queen Lines on my face Selfish embrace Burning my thighs Soft as a sigh Warm as a song Sung by heart Home is no place to leave Give and you shall receive A boy is a bee You will always have control of me Little by little I’m dying for my queen This hole in my chest Failing the test In your eyes Lost am I Lost am I Lost am I Home is no place to leave Give and you shall receive Home is no place to leave Give and you shall receive Give and give and give and give Give and give and give and give Give and give and give And you shall receive A boy is a bee You will always have control of me

about

Naarm composer, producer and former member of 90’s indie faves The Earthmen, Nick Batterham announces his forthcoming album The Sentimentalist, which is out on May 17th and available now for pre-order through Cheersquad Records and Tapes.

On his deeply engaging seventh solo album The Sentimentalist, Batterham leans into the power of a lifetime spent looking back. From alt roots adjacent folk through to noisy guitar driven and orchestral pop, the album is a carefully crafted exploration of love and hope that is all things heart worn, heart-warming and irresistibly relatable.

“My whole life and livelihood has depended on reading, reflecting and communicating emotion,” Batterham explains. The experience of looking inward for his work has served to deliver the conclusion that, “what might feel like a weakness can actually be an asset”.

The Sentimentalist is available on white 12" vinyl, black 12" vinyl and digitally.
