it’s great to see friend of the blog gian achen back with another banger. this one feels like sitting in your childhood bedroom while the sun sets-everything feels smaller and heavier at the same time.
the san leandro-based songwriter pours something honest and aching into this indie americana cut. warm organ and pedal steel wrap around that beautiful, vintage-tinged vocal like a soft blanket, and the hook stuns. itβs delicate but deliberate – and you should add this to your playlists asap.
battered and broken definitely hits like a quiet heartbreak anthem for the ones still trying. a slow-motion swing between isolation and resilience. it doesnβt ask for your attention. it earns it.
thank u for making this gian β¨
