Christchurch-based songwriter Pickle Darling has shared the brand new single, "Human Bean Instruction Manual".

Speaking of the track, they say: "This was one that I built from early fragments I had recorded years ago, which I then stripped for parts and assembled into a new song," Pickle Darling says of the track. "I always write with a kind of dream logic and never towards any sort of end goal, but I was on the cusp of turning 30 when I wrote this song and I remember feeling completely lost and unprepared and wishing there were some kind of manual. Lots of stressed out dreams, fears of never being able to afford a house or never being able to retire, realising there’s no steady path to a comfortable future, you just need to form your alliances and see how far through this life you can get! I realise a near 7 minute song about being stressed about money isn’t really fun cool sexy playlist material but that’s Pickle Darling."

"Human Bean Instruction Manual" is out now via Father/Daughter Records.
