BETWEEN NOISE AND CALM

Polly Mackey, originally from Wrexham in North Wales and now based in East London, has been releasing music as Art School Girlfriend since 2017. The producer and multi-instrumentalist blends organic instrumental textures with atmospheric electronics and has released two critically acclaimed albums: Is It Light Where You Are (2021), a sonically expansive reflection on a long-term breakup, and Soft Landing (2023), an intimate and experimental record about finding contentment. After touring and building her own studio, she is now working there on her third album, which is scheduled for release in autumn 2024.
