I know you get tired of holding the fort down I know you can’t open up, it’s so much scarier now I know that it feels like everyone has it figured out I know that we’re older but there’s no rush! There’s still time for us It’s ok to be thinking about things you never thought It’s ok to be open to ideas you never bought It can be overwhelming to seek what you never sought Some say it’s misconstrued, but they’ve no clue There’s so much more to you But they’ve no clue There’s so much more to you I can’t tell you anything But you tell me everything It’s not your fault, love It’s just a massive everything I know it’s upsetting when people feel comfortable In all the ways that makes them seem unapproachable I know that it feels like you’re watching your life, lived out by somebody else Nobody knows There’s so much more to you I can’t tell you anything But you tell me everything It’s not your fault, love It’s just a massive everything I can’t tell you anything But you tell me everything It’s not your fault, love It’s just a massive everything I know that we’re tired of holding the fort down I know that we’re older but there’s so many more Things in store for us I can’t tell you anything But you tell me everything It’s not your fault, love It’s just a massive everything I can’t tell you anything But you tell me everything It’s not your fault, love It’s just a massive everything I can’t tell you anything But you tell me everything It’s not your fault, love It’s just a massive everything I can’t tell you anything But you tell me everything It’s not your fault, love It’s just a massive everything

about

There’s always been something ineffably tender about Pickle Darling’s music- an off-kilter ache, a half-buried memory, a melody that insists on being felt before it can be understood. With “Massive Everything,” their first original music since a gorgeously unguarded Postal Service cover alongside The Beths in 2023, the Christchurch-based songwriter takes a step into full-blown pop maximalism — or at least their version of it.

“This is the first true pop song I feel like I’ve written,” Pickle Darling says. “I love euphoric pop music. I love Pet Shop Boys, Madonna and Robyn. This is kind of my attempt at that.” And it shows. “Massive Everything” pulses with a bright, synthetic heart through lush synth beds and flickers of drum machine melancholy. But embedded in its shimmering scaffolding is a lyrical density that buries something heavier. “There’s an infinite amount of horrors we all kind of have to carry with us that no one else can see,” Lukas explains. “Everyone has their own invisible pains that are unexplainable, and this is a love song that tries to include as much of that as possible.”

It’s a kind of radical intimacy: a love song not in spite of those interior shadows, but because of them. “Massive Everything” marks the beginning of a new chapter for Pickle Darling, one that reaches toward bigness without losing the cracked, glinting beauty of their past work.
