Ada Lea has shared new single ‘baby blue frigidaire mini fridge’ ahead of the release of forthcoming third album ‘when i paint my masterpiece’ via Saddle Creek on 8 August. Ada says the song was inspired by ‘The Chantal Akerman film where the camera moves in slow circular pans around her apartment. Then what if the frame quickly zooms out as far as it could possibly go? And in that wide pull back, what we recognize as universal is still ‘this chair, this window, this mountain view.’ Then, move out again, even further. What we are left with—three things: ‘our old time souls, this old time moon.’ Two things, I mean.”
Gorgeous from its very first note, the quiet and pared-back song has an evocative and poetic feel as Ada delivers a stream-of-consciousness conversation about different seasons, missing people and forgetting passwords – all things that are easily relatable. As the song progresses, there’s more of a Wilco or ‘I’m Wide Awake’-era Bright Eyes feel to the sound that will lift your spirits in an instant.
