Sorry Eyes

Released in 2016, Sorry Eyes is the debut EP from Canadian singer-songwriter Aliocha (Aliocha Schneider). Spanning five tracks and just under fifteen minutes, the EP serves as a blueprint for his intimate brand of indie folk. Recorded with a focus on analog warmth and tape saturation, the release stands out for its dry, close-mic vocal production and elegant chamber-pop arrangements. Rather than relying on traditional folk structures, Aliocha incorporates subtle string arrangements and minimalist percussion that elevate the songs into cinematic territory. The EP established his signature hushed, breathy vocal delivery and set the stage for his subsequent full-length albums, carving out a distinct space in the contemporary Canadian indie folk scene.
