Kate Nash releases new single, "Space Odyssey 2001"
Kate Nash has shared “Space Odyssey 2001", as the latest single from her forthcoming album, 9 Sad Symphonies.
The track sees Kate nash recount a first date with her now-partner and pokes fun at her own movie choice. “It's the wrong film for a date, but I love the film. I like making jokes in songs. I like that there's this beautiful love song but it's also complaining about this critically acclaimed film being too long. I don't recommend it for a first date," she explains.
Kate has also announced a limited edition Record Store Day exclusive 7” featuring two unreleased recordings, “Back At School” and “Space Odyssey 2001 (demo)”.
“‘Space Odyssey’ is a love song about my partner who I was friends with for many years, but we met up at just the right time in the summer of 2017, both single and very unexpectedly fell in love," Nash continues. "Romance came back into my life in this effervescent, joyful and healing way. I’d been through so much pain and toxicity. In the video, I arrive at this homestead having been through hell, exhausted and at the point of no return. I am rescued by a half man/half donkey. It’s inspired by Shakespeare and the way his plays use surrealism, fairy tale and classic love stories, but also the genuine complexities of human relationships. I’m taken into this homestead as I’m ready to give up and am healed by sunshine, friendship, food, joy, animals, nature and falling in love with someone you really don’t expect, which transforms me from a broken, bloody mess to a higher level self (in this case, a fairy).”
9 Sad Symphonies is set for release on 21 June via Kill Rock Stars, and is available to pre-order now.
