canadian singer – songwriter dylan forshner taps into the quiet chaos of adulthood on hopeless optimism. a diy debut that’s full of heart, fragility and unafraid to sit with uncomfortable feelings.

recorded in toronto, the ep dials down the polish and leans into texture: suitcase kick drums, mellow mellotron swells, and stripped-back guitars that feel like they were tracked at 2am after a long talk with a mate. lead track ‘under control’ is an emotional anchor – a stunning wee soft and honest tune, and we’re fans.

if you’re into the looser corners of indie folk-pop (think adam melchor, or phony), or just need something a little raw to soundtrack your introspection – this one hits hard.

recommended: under control, gimme some love
