Description
Rising artist Thala finds strength in her vulnerability on new EP In Theory Depression. After forging a path in hazy, lo-fi indie, this release is home to her sharpest, boldest songwriting yet, rendering these deeply personal explorations of self in vivid, 90s influenced indie-rock, and looming, psych-inspired walls-of-sound. Recalling the tangled indie-rock of Holly Humberstone, Soccer Mommy, and Phoebe Bridgers, and underpinned by spiky, surging guitars, the songs unearth tenderness, even as they rage. In Theory Depression marks the artists most introspective writing yet, but as much as the lyrics excavate from hidden depths, theyre often paired with widescreen, cinematic-sounding melodies. It brings to mind both the dazzling soundscapes of Mazzy Star, the witty bite of Liz Phair, and the subtle punk influences of Juliana Hatfield, who also spins the genres more relentless strains into snarling and bittersweet alternative pop.
