Album Notes & Community Reviews

Owen Ashworth's fifth and final album under this moniker conceptually explores the anxieties, burdens, and tragedies surrounding parenthood. Moving beyond purely battery-operated keyboards, the production incorporates live drumming and mellotron, expanding his signature lo-fi sound. The bittersweet storytelling and starkly honest lyricism provided a fittingly somber conclusion to the beloved indie-pop project.
