Petra Glynt Returns with New Album 'My Flag Is a Burning Rag of Love'

BY Calum SlingerlandPublished Jun 28, 2018

After taking listeners on a Trip with her debut LP last year, Petra Glynt has lifted the curtain on a full-length follow-up.

Titled My Flag Is a Burning Rag of Love, the sophomore effort from the artist born Alexandra Mackenzie is set to arrive September 7 through Pleasence Records. The 13-track album was written, recorded and produced by Mackenzie herself, and mixed alongside Alice Wilder (M.I.A., Austra).

Mackenzie completed My Flag Is a Burning Rag of Love following a European tour during which she was denied entry and detained in the UK for over two days. A first taste of the record arrives with "New Growth," which Mackenzie describes as a feminist anthem of empowerment written in the wake of #MeToo.

"Progress is being made and we're stripping away the layers of patriarchal oppression that we've been conditioned to accept," Mackenzie said in a statement. "Women have realized that we don't have to take that anymore, so it's a new growth. When I sing 'keep the feed flowing and watch us blow up,' that explosion is about a viral spread of information or watching us grow bigger and stronger."
