Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut EP from Owen Evans' musical project is a masterful display of 1960s-inspired chamber pop and indie rock. Utilizing dense, Phil Spector-esque wall-of-sound production, the release pairs incredibly upbeat, theatrical instrumentation with deeply melancholic, anxious lyrics. The title track remarkably gained massive viral popularity on TikTok an entire decade after its original release.
