.annashoemaker_r’s EP is the sound of a heart on the drug of unrequited love.
The first time I heard Anna Shoemaker, I considered messaging her to ask if we’d dated the same person. After all, we both live in Brooklyn and I couldn’t believe how accurately she depicted the gut-punch feeling of dating someone unavailable. On her songs, she didn’t romanticize the feeling of getting your heart clubbed like a piñata, she just accurately described feelings of ecstasy and self-delusion surrounding such an arrangement.
The EP’s titular track “Hey Anna” is a Soundgarden-esque note-to-self sung largely in an upper register: “If I hold my breath I’d end up dead/ So I let you let me down instead/ This happens/ When you’re batshit” she sings. It’s growly and guttural, written in minor chords and invisible ink. “Did you mean to put your cigarette out on my heart?” she sings on “Holly,” which is about “an on-again, off-again, self-proclaimed art bro who can only find his phone on the weekends – you know what and who I’m talking about. You can tell who your real friends are when they tell you to shut up about him,” states a press release. It’s at that point, when your friends are sick of talking about the same thing, that I turn to Shoemaker’s music.
