Aunty Social will release her debut EP, “The Day My Brain Broke”. The bedroom pop artist has been teasing the release for months, sharing “Trying” last summer, followed by “Traveling Circus” and “Crack a Deal” in the fall. Just two days away from the full effort’s March 6th due date, she’s back today with a final sample in “Thinking About Thinking About Thinking”.
Though fizzing with dream-like guitar, the songs on The Day My Brain Broke have all tackled the somber aspects of Aunty Social mastermind Daniela Gitto’s personality. “Thinking About Thinking About Thinking” is no different, a woozy slice of indie pop that reads like a lover’s comforting embrace. However, Gitto’s lyrics reveal that comfort is coming from a place more severe than romance, but rather deep concern. “Behave my love, we’ll never make it past the clouds,” she sings. “We’ll fix our brains/ And promise that we’ll try the next day.”
In a statement, Aunty Social has said the song is meant to “depict depression as a child-like fear that can root from the imagination.” She continued, “It attaches itself to outside sources like being scared of the dark, but deep down it is an internal issue. The only remedy being a figure of strength that can drag us out of our heads.”
