Today, songwriter and indie artist quinnie shares a brand-new track entitled “ribbons” – listen to the song here and watch the official lyric video here. The track will also appear on her forthcoming deluxe version of her debut album flounder, which will be available this summer.
Says quinnie, “ribbons is about being exhausted with the time and effort it takes to present feminine, and a desire to just be. I was inspired by Joni Mitchell’s song “Carey” and the lyric “got me used to those clean white linens and my fancy French cologne,” considering these motifs as markers of girlhood and feminine cleanliness.”
flounder consists of eleven tracks laced with quinnie’s unapologetic lyrical candor, expressive instrumentation, and dreamy beat-craft. Among many highlights, her breathy intonation echoes listlessly on “security question” as she confesses, “Wish I could make a friend today.” The vocals sink into distant guitar on the nostalgic “popcorn and juice,” while “jake’s car” caps off the LP with a weirdly wonderful send-off, “Cuz I borrow Jake’s car, cuz I’d drive but I can’t afford it, YET.” Plus, it boasts her breakout “touch tank,” the fan favorites “man” and “itch” and the titular track “flounder.” Listen to flounder here.
As a self-described “very sensitive 21-year-old,” quinnie went from writing songs as a kid to releasing independent projects such as a gold star in 2019. She is bitingly funny, she is brutally honest, she loves the underwater world and sea creatures, and she will help you escape if you let her.
