Lo - Shy Panic (2022) Hi Res

Over the past three months, Boorloo/ Perth based “sad girl songstress” Lo has been leaving a beautiful breadcrumb trail with singles Giver, Lover, Pet, Tapped Out, and GTY leading us to today's hightly anticipated EP release Shy Panic. Centered around her infectious pop-hazed sound and a skill for storytelling that just seems to be getting better and better with every release, it’s a 5-track retrospective release rooted in emotional expression.

“The whole EP was basically built around a Gretsch baritone guitar I bought and the fantastic idea to dredge up some past trauma!” shares Lo, as she reflects “I’ve come to realise I don’t emotionally deal with things at the time and it sometimes takes years to actually understand the impact of a painful event. So I suppose this EP is a culmination of shit that has piled up and I’m singing about it.” Cathartic and relatable, it comes as no surprise that her delicately articulated tracks are receiving attention from the likes of triple j, BBC Radio 1, and Spotify Playlists, as Shy Panic’s release continues to extend an impressive discography of sonically captivating compositions.

As Lo reveals her sad girl soundtrack Shy Panic today, we asked to hear more about the release from the songwriter, performer, and co-producer herself. Let the new EP hit you in the feels below, as she walks us through track by track.
