'In Theory Depression' is a wonderful six-track release from rising artist Thala. After forging a path in hazy, lo-fi indie, this miniature collection on 12-inch COLOURED VINYL is home to her sharpest, boldest songwriting yet, rendering these deeply personal explorations of self in vivid, '90s influenced indie-rock and looming, psych-inspired walls-of-sound. Recalling the tangled indie-rock of Holly Humberstone, Soccer Mommy and Phoebe Bridgers, and underpinned by spiky, surging guitars, the songs unearth tenderness, even as they rage. SIDE 1: 1.
