Hot Mess

Four tracks of jittery chamber pop and lush vocal stacks. A claustrophobic but beautiful exploration of social anxiety and the messiness of being human.

It's like a panic attack but with really, really pretty string arrangements.

A nervous, beautifully orchestrated dive into the discomfort of self-consciousness.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the frantic, staccato string arrangement in the title track that mimics a racing heartbeat
the sudden shift into a jazzy, almost cabaret-style rhythm during the bridge of Got Weird
the way the vocal layers swell into a haunting, choral wall of sound at the end of Lonely Bones
