Lust Feels Like Bad Luck unfolds as four distinct yet interconnected meditations on strength, desire, presence and intimacy. Sculptural sound design and intimate textures shape ethereal works that drift between atmospheric stillness, raw intensity and quiet self-possession. Each track lingers on vulnerability and resolve, bound by an instinctive, deeply felt approach to songwriting.
The journey opens with Body Ground Gravity, a spacious reflection on presence and release. Waves of ambient texture and breath-like movement trace the fragile balance between disconnection and deep awareness, dissolving urgency into a suspended moment of calm that feels both weightless and grounded.
The title track, Lust Feels Like Bad Luck, surges forward with restless energy. Desire is explored as chaotic and consuming, yet playful and absurd in its inevitability. Visceral guitar lines cut through layered production, giving the song a striking physicality as it shifts fluidly between intensity and restraint, embracing volatility without losing self-awareness.
Backwards turns inward, offering a quietly empowering meditation on self-reliance. Confidence emerges not through external validation but through steady trust in one’s own path, carried by a sense of calm resolve.
The EP closes with Hide and Seek, a bold and intimate conclusion that unravels the magnetic tension between vulnerability and control. Written from a distinctly feminine perspective, it moves with hypnotic assurance, presenting power as presence — fluid, sensitive and commanding.
Across these four pieces, abstraction and emotion coexist. Lust Feels Like Bad Luck is less about resolution than about inhabiting each moment fully: the weight of desire, the calm of stillness, the strength of solitude and the complexity of human connection.
