Crush Songs

Fifteen sketches of lo-fi folk recorded to a four-track. Whispered vocals and brittle acoustic guitar that feel like reading someone's private diary.

Find on Amazon

It's like finding a cassette tape of Karen O's private voice memos from 2006.

A fragile, unpolished collection of romantic sketches that feels like a shared secret.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The audible click of the recorder starting and stopping between the brief, fragile vignettes.
The way her voice cracks slightly on the high notes of Rapt, sounding entirely unedited.
The sudden, charming hummed melody that carries the weight of Ooo.
