Stagger

Poppy

Four tracks of gritty, 90s-indebted alternative rock. A departure into organic textures, sludgy basslines, and a more vulnerable, unpolished vocal delivery.

It's Poppy doing 90s grunge in a way that feels surprisingly honest and gritty.

A gritty and introspective dive into 90s-style alternative rock that feels both bruised and resilient.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden shift from the frantic punk energy of FYB into the slow, syrupy bass groove of Pocket.
The way the vocals on the title track dissolve into a hazy, shoegaze-inspired wall of sound during the final minute.
The dry, intimate drum kit sound on Shapes that feels like it was recorded in a small, carpeted room.
