“In Denial,” a rhythmic powerhouse, opens the EP with its blend of post-punk detachment and retro synth-pop warmth, capturing the audacity of youth confronted by the reality that some things are simply not meant to be.
The track “Drugs” unfolds with dreamy vocals, plaintive guitar, and an enchanting chorus, offering a romanticized vision of life for those bold enough to let go of fear.
“Take A While” encourages perseverance even when goals seem hopeless, while “Stranger In Your Living Room” reflects on friendship, empathy, and how to be there for someone in mourning.
Lastly, “Lovely,” the EP’s most vulnerable ballad, poses the challenging question: “Did you love me as much as you miss me now?” Philine explores intimate themes such as depression, imposter syndrome, and the sense of displacement in her hometown.
