Quarter-life Crisis - Quarter-life Crisis - Vinyl Record

Vinyl LP pressing. Including digital download. Quarter-Life Crisis is a collaboration between Ryan Hemsworth and various artists who've come to prominence over the past couple of years, many of whom got their start playing scrappy DIY shows. The self-titled debut EP will be released on December 4th, 2020 via Saddle Creek and features contributions from Frances Quinlan (Hop Along), Meg Duffy (Hand Habits), Charlie Martin (Hovvdy), Yohuna, and Claud. It showcases Hemsworth in a new phase of his career, one that is perhaps a bit less indebted to the nightclub dance floor. 'It's always been a goal to mix, like, 25% electronic sounds and 75% live indie rock sounds,' he says. Collaboration is paramount to Hemsworth's process, and though he produced all of the instrumentation on the album, he left the lyrics and intention of the song up to the contributors. The resulting collection shapeshifts from track-to-track, taking on new personalities as it moves between artists.
