Talking to myself is the latest EP from Glasgow-based Australian Zerrin. She has mentioned artists like Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell and Weyes Blood as inspirations and you can hear elements of them all throughout the four cuts, yet she still makes it sound like her own. The EP opens with the slow and moody “Maintenance Phase” with vocals that are whispery, and at times almost languid but occasionally juxtaposed against chipper keys and flute. The quaint baroque and folk pop of “Spring Cleaning” has a swirling dreamlike Kate Bush vibe. Most of these songs have wonderful little effects and sounds that give them so much texture and this cut is a perfect example. The ethereal “Cloud Baby” is a gorgeous, very ethereal track that at its core is very simple with her fragile vocals accompanied by quiet piano and some very subdued effects. “It's Happening Again” closes the EP and is while it’s slow and melancholy there is a taut energy that rears its head at times.
