Terrified EP by Max Oakland
Really excited to share my new EP! This has been years in the making. I learned so much about mixing and production and it really shows. Emotionally, these songs switch between hope and despair. Sometimes even in the same song. "…And You're Terrified of What You Found" has breezy acoustic production and dark lyrics. "Antifreeze" starts out bizarre and dark and blast into an upbeat disco chorus. "Leaving the Party" contemplates giving up over vintage synths and heavy beats that sample arcade machines. "I Prefer the Dusk" finds me musing about an ending relationship over post rock guitars and R&B beats. "Camera's Grain" calls out against bad treatment while enveloped in clean guitars and strange synths.
The cover photo was taken at Lazy River, an open mic I frequented this year that sadly shut down a few months ago. It's a bittersweet reminder of a community I found and a place where I pushed against stage fright and anxiety to express these songs!
