“don’t know how to feel about this was made out of desperation,” says Joey Maxwell. “I had recently become independent again and I was yearning to make something that truly represented me sonically. The EP was frantically recorded and mixed within a week and since that point I’ve just been feeding out songs and seeing what happens. That’s kind of how the name came about, I really don’t know what’s going to happen or if anyone will care but I’ve made something that truly reflects who I am.”

The EP commences with “shoelaces,” where Joey Maxwell adeptly leads us through a narrative set against the backdrop of a lively party, effectively reflecting the inner turmoil experienced by those excessively preoccupied with how they are perceived by others. Following this is his compelling single, “hollowing out,” an uplifting anthem that delves into embracing self-doubt. The deliberate juxtaposition of these two tracks is undeniable, and this same deliberate arrangement carries through into tracks three and four, “I Don’t Wanna Try” and “Like A Clown.” The EP culminates with “In A Way That I Could Never Love Myself,” and all within a 12-minute runtime, Joey Maxwell masterfully demonstrates a profound understanding of the synergy between lyrics and melodies, ensuring a continuous dialogue between these elements from one track to the next.

“Making this EP helped me to enjoy being creative again. proper DIY stuff scribbling on artworks and running round filming in public places, it’s a way better way to operate. Making music has always been my outlet, there was a point where I wanted to throw that away and give up but making this EP on my own terms has completely re-defined that relationship.”
