Indie-folk duo almost sex (Warren LaSota and Nick Louis) have unveiled a delectable collection of tracks on their new offering We’re Okay. The 5-track EP has a stripped-back, lo-fi quality throughout, flaunting the pair’s authentic magic.
The EP kicks off with ‘Show/Tell’, a track that blends almost sex’s versatile musicality in one. A hazy soundscape is made up of a pulsing analog drum machine and twinkling chords, complimented by hushed yet warming vocals reminiscent of Benjamin Francis Leftwich.
We’re Okay also includes stand out track and previously released single ‘Lucile’. The Americana-tinged track feels both traditional and innovative at the same time, as storytelling folk meets bedroom-pop. This stunning duality is a result of Nick and Warren combining their own unique sounds together.
almost sex share some insight into the making of the EP:
“The process of writing and recording this EP involved us stripping things back a bit to consolidate the core elements that made up our sound. Our drummer had been away for work for most of the year, so we began performing shows with an analog drum machine from 1979. We decided to take it into the studio with us and it ended up becoming the principal instrument featured on most of these tracks. Much of the lyrical content of the project centers around themes of getting older in an increasingly frightening and hyper-commodified world.”
Concluding with the EP’s title track, ‘We’re Okay’ is perhaps the most raw of the collection. Stark vocals meet sweet yet shabby chords, putting the emotion at the forefront and ending on a note of reflection.
