Album Notes & Community Reviews

'I Thought I Was an Alien' is a deeply quirky and intimately recorded bedroom pop debut, characterized by its lo-fi charm and stark vulnerability. The instrumentation is sparse, relying mostly on gently strummed acoustic guitars, vintage drum machines, and the artist's fragile, whisper-thin vocal delivery. It is a melancholic, twee-leaning indie record that thrives on its raw, unpolished honesty.
