Sleeping (extended play)

Stripped-back acoustic folk recorded with a palpable sense of physical space. A quiet, unpolished precursor to the artist's later cinematic pop sound.

It's like eavesdropping on a very talented guy playing guitar in the room next door at 2 AM.

A fragile, unvarnished look at early-twenties loneliness and romantic uncertainty.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The audible intake of breath before the first line of Still in Love sets an immediate tone of fragile intimacy.
The way the piano chords on I Am Drunk, and She Is Insane feel slightly heavy and unhurried, mimicking a slow-motion emotional collapse.
The sudden, stark vulnerability when the guitar pattern shifts during the bridge of Rockman's Pier.
