Art School Girlfriend - Doing Laps [Video]

“Doing Laps” draws you straight into the introspective world of Art School Girlfriend, the project of UK musician Polly Mackay. Sonically, it showcases her elegant, atmospheric electronic textures and calming vocals that feel almost weightless. Lyrically, it circles around a tension she has addressed before: the love of making music and the quiet pressure of constantly presenting it in the internet age.

“Am I doing it for you?” she repeats — a question that grows heavier with every turn, less rhetorical each time it returns.

"Doing Laps" is the opener of Lean In, the third album by Art School Girlfriend, out on March 11 via Fiction Records. Listen to our Song Pick of the day on Spotify, Apple Music, or watch the video below:
