Equal parts artistic collaborators and romantic partners, Nick Louis and Warren LaSota are almost sex. Familiar and novel to boot, the Brooklyn-based tandem distills the sounds of indie-pop with lo-fi Americana on their darling new EP We’re Okay. The cozy extended play moves through touching ballads and guitar-driven lullabies while poetic lyrics move gracefully throughout. An insightful and meaningful body of work, We’re Okay is more than sound. Instead, We’re Okay is a reflection of the pair’s poignant connection and shared commitment to bettering themselves and the alternative musical landscape as a whole. Speaking on the EP almost sex says, “The process of writing and recording this EP involved us stripping things back a bit to consolidate the core elements that made up our sound. Our drummer had been away for work for most of the year, so we began performing shows with an analog drum machine from 1979. We decided to take it into the studio with us and it ended up becoming the principal instrument featured on most of these tracks. Much of the lyrical content of the project centers around themes of getting older in an increasingly frightening and hyper-commodified world.”
