When your whole known reality suddenly collapses... what do you do? "Sing about it" was not my first, second, or third answer. Writing and recording these three tracks was equal parts painful and cathartic, but it felt inevitable.

If you're listening to this EP, I want to tell you: If you're in a bad place, it's going to get better someday. It's hard to believe that myself right now, but if I tell you guys, then I feel an obligation to follow my own advice.

I Don't Wanna Be Famous

Awkward Marina

I really actually do not want to be famous.

But I wouldn't mind if this album blew up just a little teensy, weensy bit ;)

IDWBF is my third full-length album, and probably my "fun-est" one. I have a track record of making depressing music, but that doesn't make me happy anymore.

Awkward Marina

This is my first full album, Crushed Creations. It is much darker than the content on my YouTube channel, with themes of self-hatred and anxiety rather than cartoons and silliness. I'd describe it as happy beats with sad lyrics.
