To put it simply, Sarah Mary Chadwick creates music that cuts you deep, and Me & Ennui Are Friends, Baby is no exception. A sparse, stark, and wholly intimate record, themes of death, loneliness, self-acceptance, and parental tensions are common throughout the lyrics, which serve as an almost stream-of-consciousness window into Chadwick’s mind.
Bold and brave, this powerful collection of tracks can perhaps be summed up by one single line: “Maybe I’ll just pour my soul into another few songs / The only time that I feel real, the only time I don’t feel wrong”.
