MAPLE GLIDER – Announces debut album ‘To Enjoy is the Only Thing’ out 25th June via Partisan | Hear new single ‘Swimming’
On To Enjoy is the Only Thing, written whilst Zietsch lived in Brighton in the UK, she compiles a striking set of vignettes from her life; growing up in a restrictive religious household, falling in and out of love, cross-country and international travel, longing, alienation and more. Moments both unremarkable and life-altering, but always deeply felt, brought to vivid life by the beauty of Tori’s artistry and wry sense of dark humor.
Says Zietsch on “Swimming,” “This was meant to be a love song, but by the time I finished it, it kind of predetermined a break-up. I’d been experiencing some of the most beautiful places I’d ever been in, and falling out of love was very confusing. I was trying to force myself to be happy and in love, but I was far from home, and really lonely. It made sense to record the song after the break-up. I kind of felt like I was able to handle the sincerity of it then.”

Fickle Friends now accentuate the attention growing around ‘Season 2’ by sharing the new single ‘Cosmic Coming of Age’.
