Three tracks of expansive indie rock from the Little Oblivions sessions. Heavy percussion and distorted guitars meet Baker's unflinching, self-analytical songwriting.

This EP functions as a heavy, atmospheric post-script to the maximalist shift seen in Baker's third studio album. It carries the same weight of a full band, where the drums do not just provide a beat but act as a physical manifestation of the internal pressure described in the lyrics. The sound is thick with reverb and saturated with a sense of late-night urban isolation, feeling less like a bedroom confession and more like a confrontation in a vast, empty hall. It is music that demands to be felt in the chest, balancing the delicate fragility of her voice against a backdrop of distorted guitars and humming synthesizers.
