Rising artist THALA finds strength in her vulnerability on her first single to celebrate signing to Fire Records.
Forging a path in hazy lo-fi indie, this is some of her boldest songwriting yet, rendering deeply personal explorations of the self, in vivid ‘90s influenced indie-rock and looming psych-inspired walls-of-sound.
On the eviscerating new single ‘You Had 2’ – addressed to a mostly-absent childhood figure – THALA transforms her pain into a tender letter of forgiveness, directed at both the subject and herown struggle. “I don’t feel like I owe you -anything, since you were never there to take care of me in the first place,” she sings, “needed your space, but I was just a kid.”
It's been like several re-listens and binges of this album since 2020 that I can still come back to and proudly say that this was an album I will personally call one of my favorites of all time.
Wonderfully crafted & ambitious dream pop wearing its 60s influence on its sleeve with sheer delight, Wake UP! has been an album that I have no shame in saying it saved my life. No other album I can say I love can say that did it for me, capturing both the anxieties and joys of life, in spite of it. christiancruz8184

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.
