sometimes

Released in May 2022, 'sometimes' is a concise four-track EP that solidified ivri's position at the intersection of the lo-fi beat community and the burgeoning 'slowcore-pop' scene. Clocking in at just under eight minutes, the project functions as a singular mood piece rather than a collection of individual songs. The recording context is rooted in the bedroom-pop tradition, utilizing digital manipulation to create an 'underwater' sonic profile where vocals are treated as melodic textures rather than focal points. This approach draws heavily from shoegaze and ambient influences, stripping away the traditional pop structure in favor of looping motifs and atmospheric density. Critical reception within indie circles highlighted its ability to convey profound digital isolation through its 'robotic' yet 'intimate' production. It remains a definitive example of how lo-fi aesthetics can be elevated into a cohesive, emotive short-form narrative.
