This 2018 EP introduced Hatchie's signature sound: impossibly catchy, reverb-drenched pop songs that balanced euphoric highs with a distinct undercurrent of melancholic yearning.
- "Sugar & Spice" was released on May 25, 2018, by the Brooklyn-based label Double Double Whammy.
- The EP features production by John Castle, known for his work with other notable Australian artists.
- The EP was a critical success, with Pitchfork praising its "dreamy, nostalgic, yet forward-thinking" sound.
Hatchie is the dream pop project of Brisbane-based artist Harriette Pilbeam, who emerged in the mid-2010s with a sound that blended the shimmering textures of shoegaze with breezy indie rock melodies. By 2018, Hatchie was establishing herself as a key voice in a renewed wave of Australian guitar music, earning critical attention for her sophisticated songwriting and production.
