It was released on 1 May 2015 in New Zealand through Lil' Chief Records. The album was produced by Jonathan Bree and Chelsea Nikkel. BackgroundAfter the release of Lil' Golden Book, Chelsea Nikkel toured the album. Nikkel began work on her second album in October 2012.[1] Nikkel announced the album title in May 2013. It was originally scheduled for a release in early 2014, but was rescheduled to May 2015 for unknown reasons.[2] "The Great Cybernetic Depression" is a metaphor for the anxiety and depression she was experiencing during the writing of the album.
After the release of 'The Cigarette Duet' from Lil' Golden Book, Chelsea gained a fan base and introduced a new genre of music to people. Chelsea believes that her music has evolved since her last album in 2011, and that this album is quite different from the last.
CompositionThe Great Cybernetic Depression is a pop[4] album with elements of indie pop,[5] synth pop,[6] and electronic[7] music. The songs were recorded over a period of three years.[8] The opener to the album, 'When The World Turns Grey,' is what Chelsea describes as the "only power ballad" on the album. It is described as "dreamy" and "wispy" and her vocals are described as "low-key" and "sweet."[9] 'Is It All OK?' is described by Pitchfork as "crystalline arpeggios rolling in waves" and Chelsea and Jonathan Bree's vocals as "affectless." 'No Church On Sunday' was chosen as the second single from the album. It is an electro-pop song described as "ethereal"[10] and the music video was described as a "nerdy acid trip".[11] 'Too Many People' was chosen as the third single, and is described as "twinkling"[12] and a "cosmic lullaby".[12] 'We Are Very Happy' is described by Chelsea as "personal" and "naked emotional." She said she felt "slightly uncomfortable" about releasing the song. She said that she tried to hide the song in the packaging of the album to make it "less self-indulgent to a certain extent."[13] 'Winston Crying On The Bathroom Floor' is a song that was previously released as a b-side to the song 'Overseas,' released from her first album Lil' Golden Book. Chelsea has once said that she wakes up every morning "to the sound of Winston wailing in [her] bathroom,[14]" so she sampled the meowing for the song that is described by The Guardian as "a great, tiny sweat-bead of emotion."[4] 'We're So Lost' was chosen as the lead single for the album. The song is a cover of a song by Voom from their 2006 album Hello, Are You There?. The song is described as "tinkling" and "swaying"[15] and her vocals are described as "dreamy."[16] 'We Are Strangers' is described as "rich" and "compelling" and Jonathan Bree's vocals as "deep and deliberate".[9] The closer of the album, 'All The Stars,' is described by The Guardian as "beautiful and dreary."[4] The Guardian said that the standout tracks are 'We're So Lost' and 'Winston Crying On The Bathroom Floor,' and Pitchfork says that 'Too Many People' is a standout track.[17] Other critics have said that 'No Church On Sunday,' 'We Were Meant 2 B,'[18] 'When The World Turns Grey,' and 'We Are Strangers'[19] are standout tracks.
