about

PIPSY is the musical project of Paul Pouwels McMillan (they/them), a songwriter and producer based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara.

PIPSY crafts alternative pop with poise and precision. Their tracks are full with warm melodies and tender vocal harmonies. Listeners will be reminded of the devotional jangle made by British post-punks in the 80s, as well as the stirring synth pop of the early 2000’s.

PIPSY's debut album 'All You Ever Wanted' brings together two worlds, placing one foot firmly in the landscape of dreamy synth and keyboard textures, leaving the other planted in guitar-driven indie pop. Written loosely as a concept album, 'All You Ever Wanted' trains it's eye on both romantic relationships and platonic friendships - particularly considering how they can warp and distort over time. This collection of eleven pop songs serves as an autobiographical snapshot of a period of reflection. Some review past or present grievances ('Hey, OK!', 'Number One', 'Madison'), others scream out in frustration (Weighed Us Down, I Want To Crush My Enemies). Some grapple with existential anxiety and doubt (Underdog, Commander Keen, Who Am I Really?), while others muse on finding positives, accepting change, and moving on peacefully (Watt Road, I Love You, I Miss You).

Despite the sometimes heavy subject matter, PIPSY's upbeat indie pop is the sugar that helps the medicine go down. PIPSY paint these subjects with liberal lashings of dreamy vocal melodies, colourful taped-out drums breaks, and effervescent synth hooks. The band wants this journey to be fun - not dreary - so you come out of it feeling reinvigorated, courageous, and confident as ever! You'll never have so much fun going through your phone, and deleting some of the contacts for good.

This album was written and recorded primarily in Paul's studio in Broadmeadows, Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington) in Aotearoa (NZ) during the latter stages of 2021. The songs were given rough mixes by Paul when recording was completed, and then sent to Michael Holland in Ōtepoti to be mixed and finalised. The band then set out on a tour of Aotearoa supporting Jordan Luck Band, as the album was mastered and first single released.
