Ni ibamu si awọn band, “This song gets into the repeated pattern of behaviour which leads mechanically and invariably to disappointment. It also attempts to put into context the fact that it’s a ‘tiny problem’ and does not matter, but despite the attempts to minimise it, the feelings remain the same.”‍

It’s the palpable imagery of trying to hang one’s problems onto a coat hanger that proves the originality of the band’s expressive songwriting. Self-described as “sad song specialists”, songs like ‘Disappointment Machine’ captures the “liminal moments” of isolated uncertainty of that particularly fraught time of life, our late twenties and early thirties. Whether listeners are going through the fray right now, anticipating what’s to come, or reflecting on the confusion of their past, the relatability of Arliston’s songwriting is undeniable.

Collaborating with Freya and her team allowed Arliston to focus solely on storytelling, and the result is a beautifully balanced piece that mixes humor with sincere self-reflection. This thoughtful exploration of “fool’s gold” perfectly mirrors Arliston’s introspective musical style, transforming a simple story into a powerful metaphor for finding meaning in unexpected places.

The outfit’s key influences like The National, Bon Iver, and Damien Rice come through in their wide-ranging elements and crisp production, drawing out what they affectionately call “hardcore misery”.
