Neon Hitch - Eleutheromaniac (2015)

In May 2014 Neon Hitch announced via a live chat that after almost four years she had parted ways with Warner Bros. Records, and that her 'Beg, Borrow & Steal' album had been scrapped. She also announced that she would be releasing a new album titled 'Eleutheromaniac', and that her mixtapes, 'Happy Neon' and '301 To Paradise' would be released to digital retailers on 20 May 2014. On 4 August 2015 she issued a new single, 'Yard Sale', which she said represented her moving forward and letting go of her past, with the yard sale being symbolic of her selling all her past belongings. In January 2015 she released 'Sparks' as the first single from 'Eleutheromaniac', and in March she released her EP '24:00' for free, as a surprise release, and which she'd recorded in 24 hours. The EP was followed in April by the digital release of 'Eleutheromaniac', the title track of her debut album, and in August by a new song titled 'Pussy PowR', which was made available on YouTube and for free download. In May 2016 she announced the official name of her debut album would be 'Anarchy', which was a different project than the previously mentioned 'Eleutheromaniac', and that this would be released on 22 July 2016. It was preceded by the lead single 'Please', and when the album appeared it did not include any of her previously released material, although it did include a remixed version of 'Freedom' from the 'Eleutheromaniac' sessions. With the scrapping of a second set of songs, Hitch finally released her debut album six years after first signing a record deal, and so to rescue all the work that she'd done up to that point, here is the scrapped 'Eleutheromaniac' album from 2015.
