STUCK EP
STUCK EP is a contradicting collection of playful songs about the passage of time, loss, the difficulty of living in a cruel environment-inhospitable to new ideas, identity formation through the eyes of others and ways of coping(or not) with all the above.
The first song,“STUCK”, sets the tone. It was inspired by the music for a small animation I did some time ago. The animation was based on a drawing called VERBAL FIGHT, out of my HIBERNATION series.
During the pandemic, I constantly imagined an empty field with someone/-thing just being stuck there, completely alone, watching the clouds go by. A desert feeling of loneliness. This feeling slowly transformed to the more ambiguous feeling of anxiety and existential dread. In the end, all these took the form of a jingle-like small song.
“NOT EASY” talks about the loss of an important person and the vague desire to stay friends.
“BAD TASTE” is about my hometown, Athens :((((
In “LOSER” a groovy,sexy voice talks about their effort to make a song to impress and their failure to do so, dew to the amount of time needed.
“STEP OUTSIDE” is an outro
The pitched vocals throughout the whole EP create a sense of depersonalisation and build different characters that sing their words through their own point of view. The artwork was first made a while ago, as an homage to a theatrical play for children I was a part of, that got to an end.
All of the above are just random thoughts that I’m now quickly writing down. Feel free to roam.
