about

On the new single, Kierst offers "I think it’s important to know how to sit with yourself, and not depend so much on romantic fulfilment. You can only be as good to someone else as you can be to yourself, and the song’s about knowing when to respect that".

Kierst wrote the first song for the EP while living in a dorm in New York before relocating back home for the 2020 lockdown. Uninspired and buried under the weight of finding herself back in her teenage bedroom, she began to revisit her high-school record collection – tracing back over her love for shoegaze and dream pop. Revisiting such work, she became more inspired, recording the demos for Phone Call and for the EP’s opening track, Hollow Out, with nods to the likes of Grouper and Mazzy Star.

lyrics

What are you calling for?
I never thought I’d hear your voice
across the country
a thousand miles where we used to be
maybe that’s how it should be
eternally caught between

You don’t need anyone else
You just need to fix yourself

What are you calling for?
You don’t need to make this hard
for everyone involved
I don’t wanna hear your voice
across the country
Why don’t you think that we
will never be anything

You don’t need anyone else
You just need to fix yourself
