Californian Soil is the third studio album by English indie pop band London Grammar, released on 16 April 2021 by Metal & Dust and Ministry of Sound. It was initially intended to be released on 12 February 2021, but was postponed for unknown reasons. [1]

Contents

Californian Soil was preceded by four singles—"Baby It's You", the title track, "Lose Your Head" and "How Does It Feel".

Composition

Thematically, although it remains a collaborative effort with the rest of the band, the album is vocalist Hannah Reid's 'story'. [2] Reid said the album deals with themes of feminism and fame. She wrote:

This record is about gaining possession of my own life. You imagine success will be amazing. Then you see it from the inside and ask, "Why am I not controlling this thing? Why am I not allowed to be in control of it? And does that connect, in any way to being a woman? If so, how can I do that differently?" [3]

Reid stated that things need to be different from her efforts on the preceding album (Truth Is a Beautiful Thing); "I wasn't making myself very vulnerable and I didn't feel like I was taking any risks." [4] The songwriting was influenced by Reid's ultimatum for change following years of sexism and misogyny within the music industry:

I did say to Dan and Dot, "I don't want this to end, but something does have to change because I just can't keep doing my best work or going out on the road if I'm going to come back and feel this way." [5]

In particular, I Need the Night addresses Reid's experiences with the music industry. [5] America also ruminates on Reid's toxic experiences despite the fame, her fibromyalgia diagnosis and the contrasts between poverty and beauty while travelling. [6] Major emphasised that the band supported Reid's direction for the album; "lyrically, Californian Soil is very much about Hannah’s experience as a woman, and we wanted that message to come through as loud as possible" [4]

Production

Writing and demoing for the album began in 2017 at Rothamn's home, in his hidden 'Narnia' studio. [4] It was the first time the band had begun production on an album without an executive producer. [4] How Does It Feel and Call Your Friends were written initially by Reid and producer Steve Mac in separate writing sessions, before eventually the rest of the band finalised the songs. [7] Reid acknowledged that the album's external producers - Mac, George FitzGerald and Charlie Andrew - were all male, which stands out given the album's feminist themes; "it was a big conflict within me...It’s changing now but there aren’t many female producers out there. That’s something that I really hope can change and it’s something that I do want to think about for a fourth album." [4] The album was completed in 2019, and initially scheduled for a 2020 release. However, the band chose to delay the release to 2021 due to the pandemic; "we felt this was the most upbeat album we have probably ever made. In the middle of a pandemic, there is a risk that this just won’t connect right now. There was no rush and I’m glad we waited.” [2]

Release

The album was announced on 1 October 2020, alongside the release of the title track. The band said the track was a "turning point" for them, deciding to name the album after the song.

On 5 January 2021, the band posted on their Twitter page that the release date had been postponed to 9 April of that same year, before being subsequently pushed back to 16 April. No reason was given for either delay. [8]

[10] "Lord It's a Feeling" was released as the fifth single on 21 May 2021.[ citation needed ]

Californian Soil received generally positive reviews from music critics. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalised score out of 100 to ratings from publications, the album received an average score of 77 based on 10 reviews. [12] Christopher Hamilton-Peach of The Line of Best Fit said that "London Grammar use Californian Soil to hone their lush sonics and embrace the future". [18] Hannah Mylrea of NME wrote that "London Grammar are revitalised...[they] are more confident, and more fun, than they’ve ever been." [5]

The Guardian 's Alim Kheraj stated that "the British trio stick to boilerplate emoting and bland imagery, but there are small sonic steps forward". [16] Writing for Pitchfork , Hannah Jocelyn wrote that "the UK electronic-pop trio's third album draws on a renewed sense of extroversion and energy, which can't always overcome its lyrical and production missteps." [20] Praising the album's surrealist sound and tone, The Daily Telegraph 's Neil McCormick said that the album was "hypnotically compelling". [15] However, Slant Magazine 's Charles Lyons-Burt felt that "the band's willingness to harness the latest sonic trends is hit and (mostly) miss." [21]
