SOAK and Anais Mitchell feature on Gordi's third solo album, Like Plasticine

"Summer in Nashville a few years ago, it was damn hot. I was thinking about the beginnings of queer relationships - I’m talking real early, like so early that at least one person is still in the closet. Accepting the available love instead of it orbiting around you. There comes a breaking point, a demand, a pleading for honesty - and the relationship either explodes into the open, or melts from the periphery away into nothing. From these thoughts, ‘Peripheral Lover’ was born," Gordi explains.

The video, directed by Jared Frieder, embraces the song’s mantra to embrace all kinds of love, with Gordi perching herself in a kissing booth around the streets of Dallas, Texas.

Like Plasticine chronicles the last few transformative years of Gordi’s life. From coming out and having to adjust the vision of her future, to working as a doctor on the frontline during the pandemic, Gordi explores the beauty, heartbreak and finite nature of human experience.

"Being surrounded by death made me think about how beautiful life is…. I thought about all the ways we are like plasticine in life - how forces we can’t control contort us into shapes, stretch us thin, and test our resilience. But sometimes, heart-wrenching change can be a thing of beauty," she explains. "It was about making the music as undaunted as the stories within it."
