In an age where “Trad Wives” and "Clean Girl" aesthetics are pushed into popularity, “Cacophony” stands as a reminder that the fight for Women’s Liberation isn’t done yet.
The EP is beautifully crafted; perfectly capturing the dissonance of relationships and maladaptive behaviors stemming from the disconnection of our modern social environments and de-prioritization of self.
The band’s efforts are well noted, capturing both the band’s talent and ambition in just 2 tracks that ultimately carried them into the anticipation for their debut EP’s release.
Given its more “independent” nature and very concentrated sound, the EP holds up against the very time it opposes thematically throughout the entirety of the album.
While initially challenging, the band flourished under the challenge, further pushing the sound of alternative pop, and adding their own artistic flare to each track produced during the beginning of the year.
In the case of The True Blue, the search for identity is somewhere between prose-driven lyrics and small, thematic melodies that parallel experiences in life.
