PIGLET FOR FRANK FOREVER

Edging close to the release of his highly-anticipated new EP, TMR favourite piglet plays tribute to a lost loved one on 'for frank forever'. Released on what would have been his friend's 26th birthday, the touching single walks a tightrope between goosebump-inducing tenderness and burning frustration. Coming to head through the cutting lines 'I don't believe it in the slightest, every trans suicide is a murder when you think about it', piglet's unflinching criticism of the state and its treatment the trans community is vital and compelling. Sonically cradled by tangled guitars and lo-fi synths, compressed drums hold everything in place, leaving room for emotive fiddle work and intimate vocal breaks that build into overwhelming outpourings of raw emotion. piglet's EP of the same name will arrive on the 8th of November via Blue Flowers, listen and watch 'for frank forever' here now. -Holly Mullineaux
