Habit

Snail Mail

A raw, six-song introduction to suburban malaise. Strained vocals and clean, interlocking guitars capture the heavy stakes of being fifteen and misunderstood.

It's the sound of being 15 and having way too many feelings in a very quiet town.

A restless, suburban melancholy that feels both adolescent and surprisingly weary.

The production is pushed notably harder into lo fi than this artist usually allows.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The raspy vocal strain on Thinning where you can hear the physical toll of the recording session.
The slow, hypnotic guitar chime that opens Static Buzz before the drums anchor the mood.
The way Stick drags its tempo into a beautiful, exhausted crawl during the final minutes.
