piglet, the solo project of Irish songwriter and producer Charlie Loane, has unveiled a new track, ‘mill’, for South London label Double Dare.

The track, which you can watch a video for above, follows on from the artist’s first solo EP, alex’s birthday, which came out on Double Dare early last year. Two collaborative tracks with Porridge Radio, ‘Let’s Not Fight!’ and ‘Strong Enough’, were also released in February. Double Dare is the South London DIY label that has issued two previous cassette releases since its launch in early 2020, most recently in the form of Paddywak’s Spacey Daisy.

"The song ‘mill’ is about how my understanding of my own transness/queerness has evolved and how much better I’ve felt since I realised that my gender and sexuality don’t have to be easily definable and unchanging," Loane says. "Massive love and thanks to the people who helped me understand and love myself, to the trans people who came before us and created the spaces that we now occupy, and to every trans person who’s just getting up and doing it every day, you’re gorgeous."

mill is out now on Double Dare.
