Don't come closer, because I might hurt you boy / You don't deserve it, I treat you like a toy." So sings 28-year-old South East London musician Tatyana on "It's Over", a sad and squelchy electro-leaning earworm about desire, loss and grey-area relationships. Much of second album It's Over is like this: bright, weird, danceable electronics paired with lyrics about frustration, anger and confusion. This notion of 'dancing through the pain' is a dichotomy that Tatyana leans into regularly. It's part of her personality: "I think people are afraid of being hurt and I'm the opposite," she says, simply. "I'm like, hurt me, because that's where real life happens. You can never protect yourself from everything." If you've heard Tatyana's name before, it's probably because she released a debut album back in 2022, Treat Me Right, co-produced with Metronomy's Joe Mount. Looking back, Tatyana describes this debut record as more of a collaboration, as opposed to a full portrait of herself as an artist. For It's Over, Tatyana took control of every aspect of the album's creation, from the production (she co-produced alongside Mikko Gordon) to the artwork and the specific technology she used throughout (KORG plug-ins, like one of her favourite artists Maurice Fulton, and Elektron synths, like The Knife). "The first record I made was a very different process. I didn't have the confidence to produce a record on my own," she says today. "This record made me technically proficient because I really pushed myself. I figured out a lot of things that I didn't know before. In the past, I made every mistake. I allowed others to lead the charge and I'm not doing that any more." Primarily written and produced over the summer of '23, It's Over follows the loose trajectory of a not-quite-relationship from the year before, and the push-pull emotions that came with it. But, more than that, it's an album about modern dating, alienation and the shadowy confines of existing online. Even the album name, It's Over, is itself a nod to the popular meme (It's over, we're back!). Internet language permeates this record in the same way it permeates our intimate lives (on first single "Down Bad", a chest-thumping, clattering dance track, she sings lightly, "I wish I could delete these feelings, I wish I didn't need to see ya") "The language [of the album] is how I speak to my friends. It's so part of my intimate personal relationships," Tatyana explains. "I feel like we're in a really dark time and a lot of that is to do with how being online numbs our ability to be intimate with each other... We're using all these terms that are stand-ins for real emotion. You're not actually expressing yourself; you're just using a placeholder." Elsewhere, on album opener "Bird of Prey", a bombastic, twisty dance track spliced with funky bass slaps and unexpected electro claps, Tatyana sings about repeating the same old romantic patterns, but trying hard to do something different. "I've been down this road before, and it never changes," she sings, her voice syrupy and casual over the crisp beat, "Fly away, you don't belong with me." She describes the song as a "mission statement" of sorts. "It just introduces musically everything that follows," she says. "It's at the start [of the album] because I haven't been completely worn down yet. I'm still quite confident and self-assured and putting boundaries in place for healthy reasons, as opposed to unhealthy reasons. But again, there's still this friction. It's not a 'we're doing great' song - it's 'this is wrong and things aren't going to work out' between us'." In many ways, It's Over is like a tapestry of Tatyana's music credentials and eclectic, transient upbringing. Born in London, before moving to Russia, Holland and Singapore in her teens, before eventually landing in the USA to study music at Berklee College - which she attained on full scholarship - and then back to London, Tatyana imbues her music with both haywire technical proficiency and encyclopaedic, far-flung tastes. Mostly, though, her sound originates from a pure love of the dancefloor: Robyn, Tirzah, Mica Levi, Jessy Lanza, The Knife, LCD Soundsystem, Four Tet. You can hear these dance-pop influences everywhere, from the colourful synth shapes of "Control ft. Dave Okumu" to the crackling analogue hiss of "Nothing is True, Everything is Possible" and the swirling, undulating melodies of "Out of Time". Lean in a little closer, too, and you might catch the shimmer of a harp on every song (she's played harp since she was a little girl, and toured extensively as a professional session harpist). Cult Detroit producer Maurice Fulton is also a figure that she name-checks regularly when speaking about the creation of this record. She spent months trying to track him down in the hopes that they might collaborate, attending multiple DJ gigs and messaging him via various channels, to o luck. "I spent a night listening to basically every piece of music that I could find, although I'm still finding new pieces of music because he's very prolific," Tatyana says. "And he made this record with this artist Kathy Diamond, Miss Diamond to You. And it blew my mind when I heard it. I almost started crying out of frustration because I was like: this is what I wanted to make." Eventually, Tatyana realised she could just make the record she wanted to hear, using everything she'd learned from Fulton in the process. "What I ended up doing was that I really studied this record," she says. Hence the Korg plug-ins, and the weird, hooky, synth patches that shine though. When it came to working alongside Gordon (The Smile, Arcade Fire, Idles), the two of them created a "rubric" so that Tatyana could track the progression of each song in the studious way that she's used to. "My mix engineer, Mikko, was a professor at Goldsmiths [University], so I was like, 'let's make a rubric, where we can grade each song on'," Tatyana says. On the rubric were categories like "groove, effortlessness, weirdness, irony and the internet, sound system, human element, noise, DJ, Harp." No song was complete until each element was ticked off. To outsiders, this specific way of working might sound overly detailed or academic. But for an artist familiar with honing her craft, this was a way for Tatyana to make the record she wanted. "I wanted to make something really cohesive, almost like a concept album, where everything sounds like it's from one world," she says. "Something you could play at a dinner party or a pregame that people my age could enjoy." You could view It's Over as an introduction to Tatyana, showing the full breadth of what she's about - at least for this snapshot in time. The artwork shows her alone in a pink gown and leg warmers, surrounded by shadowy streets, like a bright burst of emotion amid isolated surroundings. In some ways, that's what the album sounds like. A beam of heartbreak at a time when everyone's pretending not to care. "I write about love, I write about romance, these are the things that interest me," says Tatyana. "That's what this record is. It's about this relationship that broke my brain and I had to write about it.

Comic Book Preorder Policy
Comic Book Preorder Policy
Golden Apple Comics Comic Book Preorder Info
What is a preorder?
A preorder is an order placed for an item that has not yet been released. For comic books and collectibles, we offer preorders to allow customers to reserve their copies in advance. This ensures they will receive the item they want and eliminates the worry of it selling out before they have a chance to buy it.
What is the difference between a pull list or subscription and a preorder?
A comic book pull list is similar to preordering books in advance, but with a few key differences. Preorders offer more flexibility, whereas a pull list can be harder to adjust. Since pull lists are typically set months in advance, adding or removing titles can be tricky. On the other hand, preorders can be placed closer to the release date— even the week of release— as long as stock is available. While there are differences, preorders can still function much like a traditional subscription pull, allowing you to secure the books you want ahead of time.
Do I pay up front for my preorder?
This process helps us verify that payment is valid and ensures you are committed to your order. Since we need to place preorders months in advance, we base our orders on the demand from our customers. By securing payment up front, we're able to reserve the books specifically for you, guaranteeing you get what you've requested.
What is “FOC” or Final Order Cut Off?
This is the final deadline for retailers to place book orders before they go to print. We cap our orders at the Final Order Cutoff (FOC). This date usually falls 1–2 months before the release date, though for hardcovers, trade paperbacks, manga, and specialty items, the timeline may be even longer. Certain items require orders to be placed at least six months in advance.
What can I find current preorders?
On the homepage of www.goldenapplecomics.com, we offer a dropdown menu organized by release date for both current and past preorders. A new catalog is uploaded around the 3rd or 4th weekend of each month once it becomes available. Cover sets and CGC offerings are typically added within a few days of the catalog’s release.
Does Golden Apple Comics offer discounts on preorders?
Yes, comic books are discounted for approximately the 1st 1 - 2 months when we list the catalog. As it gets closer to the time we need to order, the discounts will be removed. We encourage you to place your orders sooner so that we can get our ordering locked in and receive the discount.
How does shipping work?
If you place a preorder containing items with multiple release dates, your order will ship after the latest release date in the order. We typically ship new preorders within 5–10 business days of their release. However, delays can occur due to late arrivals, damages, or other unforeseen issues. We make every effort to secure replacements for damaged books, but this process can extend the turnaround time by several weeks.
Can I combine multiple orders into a single shipment?
Yes, Golden Apple Comics offers a combined shipping option for buyers with multiple orders. This allows you to add additional orders at discounted shipping rates. You’ll pay our standard shipping rate on your first order, and for subsequent orders, you can select the combined shipping option to reduce costs.
Please note that when choosing combined shipping, delivery times will vary depending on the number of books, the latest release date in your order, and how frequently you place orders.
HOW TO USE GOLDEN APPLE COMICS COMBINED SHIPPING
What grade is guaranteed on preorder books?
For preorder books, we strive to ship copies that are Near Mint (NM) 9.4 or better. While we understand collectors seek the highest grades, we cannot guarantee 9.8s on every book, as this is not always realistic. Printing imperfections and production variances make it impossible for every book to achieve a 9.8 grade.
What cover is gauranteed on preorder books?
Our listings use stock photos provided by publishers. These images may display unfinished artwork—such as sketches or virgin covers (without trade dress or logos). If a cover is a virgin variant, it will be clearly stated in the title.
If the title does not mention a virgin cover, the final product will include logos and trade dress.
It is industry standard for publishers to provide preview images to retailers before release. These previews often do not include logos, but the final printed product will.
Do you ship preorder books bagged and boarded?
Yes, all standard-sized comic books are shipped bagged and boarded. However, exceptions include items such as hardcovers, trade paperbacks, manga, and large-format or oversized books.
What if my preorder book is damaged?
We take great care in screening all books for damage and packing them securely to ensure they arrive in the best possible condition. However, despite our best efforts, a small number of books may still sustain damage during transit. If you encounter any issues, please email us at gappleorders@gmail.com, and we will be happy to assist you.
Can I cancel or return my preorder?
We do not accept cancellations, returns, or refunds on presale items. Any item sold before its official release date is considered a presale. All sales are final.

Overstreet Comic Grading Standards
We will not accept returns or exchanges any book with out a stated grade where they would be NM 9.4 or better books. We cannot promise 9.8s on every book, that's not realistic. Printing is imperfect and does not allow for every book to be 9.8.
If the entire print run has similar defects like minor spine dings, bindery issues etc then you will be shipped what we receive unless there is a reprint announced in a timely manner by the publisher. Then you will be given the option to receive the reprint. In the cases where the entire print run has defects we only promise 9.2 or better.
Please note that the following defects may be allowed in NM 9.4 as long as there is not an accumulation of defects.
bindery defects like minor to moderate corner tears, white along the edge of the spine, covers that are offset from the pages (common on cardstock covers) - bindery defects may not affect the grade much if at all
printing defects like a slight color rubs on the back covers, small wrinkles in the paper that were present on the paper rolls prior to the books being printed, paper that is "wavy" from the printing process
printer lines or grooves, they some times run the entire length of the cover or just part of the length. These are from print rollers. Usually on cardstock or foil covers.
2 - 3 small color breaking spine dings or minor non color breaking spine dings
This specific photo example was also a line wide issue, every copy had the same problem.
