Toronto singer-songwriter Charlie Houston earned major props from Seattle-based electronic duo ODESZA when she featured on their landmark 2022 album The Last Goodbye, even joining the pair at Budweiser Stage when they rolled through the city earlier this month. Now, the musician is announcing plans for a new solo EP, Bad Posture, which is due to arrive on October 7 via Arts & Crafts.
"All these songs focus on different emotions that have a direct effect on my posture," Houston said of the forthcoming seven-track release in a statement.
"When I'm sad, anxious, nervous, or confused my posture gets worse, and I clench my jaw," she continued. "I hold so much of my emotion in my neck and jaw. The songs on Bad Posture touch on many of the same concepts as my first EP, I Hate Spring, such as relationships, anxiety and growing up. However Bad Posture focuses."
Bad Posture cuts "Lately," "Dinosaurs in the Garden" and "Falling Out" concern the "end of a relationship," while "What Do We Do Now?" — Houston's newest song, released today — is "more about the natural growing apart of two close friends," according to the artist.
She elaborated:
There are times where as friends two people grow apart and it's no one's fault it just happens. But it's fucking sad. And it feels like there should be something you can do to fix it but in my experience I just found myself confused asking what do we do? But there's nothing you can do other than hope that one day you find yourself back in each other's lives.
Listen to her latest and see the EP's tracklisting below.
You can still catch Houston on tour with ODESZA later this month in Vancouver, or on her extensive tour of Quebec with Charlotte Cardin in November. Check her website for further details.
