Mixed-genre solo project Curly Mouth proudly announces the release of Watermelon & Ginger, a vibrant and ambitious new album that marks a major milestone in the artist’s creative journey. Developed over five years from conception to completion, the record stands as a testament to perseverance, artistic evolution, and the determination to hold onto an idea while navigating life’s twists and turns.

Created across multiple homes and cities while balancing various jobs and the uncertainties of mid-to-late twenties adulthood, Watermelon & Ginger captures the essence of growth through movement. The album reflects both personal and artistic transformation, embodying the resilience required to bring a long-held vision to life.

Built upon fast-moving chord sequences, rock-inspired song structures, and minimalist arrangements, the album places the guitar firmly at its core. Playful vocal melodies demand attention, drawing listeners into lyrics that are both intimate and evocative. Sonically, Watermelon & Ginger shifts effortlessly between folk ballads, jazz-fused instrumentals, slack rock, and subtle ventures into psychedelia. Restless and dynamic, the record never lingers in one place; just as the listener settles into a sound, they are transported somewhere entirely new.

This release also marks Curly Mouth’s first professional studio album. While previous works were self-produced and recorded in the artist’s bedroom, the songs have translated seamlessly into a studio environment. If early Curly Mouth releases resemble intricate sketches in a notebook, Watermelon & Ginger emerges as a collection of framed canvases hung in a gallery; bold, refined, and fully realised.

Drawing inspiration from a diverse array of artists, Curly Mouth channels influences that span folk, jazz, indie rock, and beyond, resulting in a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly original.

“Watermelon & Ginger is a bold and captivating debut; an album that dances effortlessly between genres while showcasing Curly Mouth’s sharp songwriting, playful spirit, and unmistakable artistic voice,” shares music publicist Danielle Holian, Decent Music PR
