Maple Glider releases new album 'I Get Into Trouble' | out 13/10

I Get Into Trouble is a thematic expansion of Maple Glider’s 2021 debut LP To Enjoy is the Only Thing, going into greater and clearer detail, as she delves back into her Christian childhood while deconstructing her relationship to her body, alongside concepts of consent and shame. Throughout the album, she draws parallels between religion and sexuality in novelistic detail, before landing on a note of hopeful optimism, and embracing a new life of peacefulness.

“This album feels more like an opening up because there are things I wasn't feeling ready to publicly share through songs, but now I finally feel ready,” she says.

Ultimately, I Get Into Trouble is the sound of alchemized pain. In each song, Zietsch transmutes tribulation and confusion into clarity and deep insight. She combines the infectious folk-pop hooks of her debut with a sense of scale and scope. It’s tight in all the right places, freeform, wiley and compositionally eclectic, playful, and erratic in others. The album was recorded with the same small team as its predecessor - Tom Iansek (#1 Dads, Big Scary, The Paper Kites) producing and mixing, and touring member Jim Rindfleish (Mildlife) on drums.

To Enjoy is the Only Thing earned Maple Glider over 22M steams, a performance on NPR’s Tiny Desk, Stephen Colbert’s #PlayAtHome series, as well as praise from Pitchfork, NPR Music, Paste, KCRW, Gorilla vs Bear, Consequence, triple j, NME and Rolling Stone. Her music has been described as "hypnotic" (Pitchfork), “sparse, confessional, intimate” by Uncut, "sublime" (Paper), and as Stereogum has put it, "some voices in indie just hit home".
