Phoebe Green releases new album PREMATURE NOSTALGIA. Focus single feat. Katherine Parlour (Picture Parlour)
Manchester's Phoebe Green today releases new album PREMATURE NOSTALGIA, via The Green Dream Machine / Absolute. The album releases follows the previously shared singles 'Clothes Still On', 'There's Always Someone Kicking The Seat' and 'Polluting You With Me'. Phoebe Green plays an album release show at Rough Trade East in London on 6th October.
Previously unheard album focus single 'I Don’t Play It Cool, I Play It Steaming', is a brilliantly over-the-top alt-pop duet with Picture Parlour’s Katherine Parlour, born from a long-running joke between the pair that they should one day write a "big gay" duet together. Trading vocals across the track, Green and Parlour lean fully into its sense of yearning and theatricality.
Written and produced alongside her sister Lucy Green (aka Elucyve) - a producer of contemporary classical and electronic music in her own right - PREMATURE NOSTALGIA was created between the flat the pair share in Manchester and their parents' home in Lytham St Annes.
Across the album, Phoebe and Lucy draw inspiration from artists such as Imogen Heap, Oklou, Jockstrap, James Blake, FKA twigs and Sega Bodega - embracing warped electronics, fragmented structures and experimental forms of pop songwriting.
Speaking about the album, Phoebe said: "‘PREMATURE NOSTALGIA’ explores the feeling of missing a moment before it’s over, grieving the present in real time and trying to retain every detail of an encounter so that the memory is always intact and in full colour. My sister Lucy and I composed, produced and recorded this album in our flat in Manchester, it holds such sentimental value and is a real amalgamation of both of our influences, perspectives and individual style; dreamy, heavy, dramatic synths and confessional lyrics that document the beautiful and messy experience of living."
A darker and more enigmatic companion to 2025 EP The Container and her acclaimed debut album Lucky Me, new album PREMATURE NOSTALGIA also features collaborations with Picture Parlour’s Katherine Parlour and incorporates field recordings and metallic textures pulled directly from Manchester’s industrial landscape and club culture.
Throughout, the album remains rooted in the bond between Phoebe and Lucy - sisters, collaborators and proud adopted Mancunians navigating the realities of independent artistry together.
Over the past decade, Phoebe Green has become one of UK alternative pop’s most distinctive voices. Alongside collaborations with Swim Deep, The Big Moon, Holiday87 and Scout, her music has featured in Killing Eve and most recently on the soundtrack to 2026 film Finding Emily - while recent work alongside Lucy has also seen the pair take their first major step into soundtrack composition.
Phoebe Green's 2025 EP The Container attracted consistent daytime airplay from BBC 6 Music (Nemone, Amy Lamé, Craig Charles, New Music Fix), glowing press support from key tastemakers including The Line of Best Fit, CLASH Magazine, Dork Magazine, DIY Magazine, 1883 Magazine, Far Out Magazine, Popjustice, Rough Trade and covering Spotify's Fresh Finds UK playlist and YouTube Music's young x dazed playlist.
Phoebe Green's new album PREMATURE NOSTALGIA is out now digitally and on 12" vinyl via The Green Dream Machine / Absolute.
