Rating 9/10 – Excellent Album

Foamboy’s new album, Eating Me Alive, released today, offers an intricate blend of pop sensibilities and deeply personal lyrics, continuing the exploration of emotional landscapes and relationships that characterized their debut album, “My Sober Daydream.” The album features tracks like “Song About You,” “imtryingimtryingimtrying,” and “COOL!?!” which delve into the complexities of interpersonal connections, self-reflection, and the struggles of moving on. Lyrics across the album vividly convey feelings of love, loss, and introspection, often using vivid imagery to express the intricacies of emotional turmoil.

For instance, “Song About You” addresses the repeated mention of a specific issue in a relationship, hinting at unresolved feelings and the need for a deeper conversation. “imtryingimtryingimtrying” captures the difficulty of moving on from someone, highlighting the frustration and despair of trying to heal. “COOL!?!” reflects on the disparity between how one perceives themselves and the reality of their emotional turmoil, pointing out the irony in thinking oneself as cooler or more composed than they actually are.

Foamboy, consisting of producer Wil Bakula and vocalist Katy Ohsiek, has been known for their jazz-inspired, danceable pop tunes paired with hyper-personal lyrics since their debut. With “Eating Me Alive [Deluxe Edition],” they seem to extend their sonic landscape while maintaining the emotional depth and pop roots that garnered them recognition from indie circles and beyond​​​​​​.

Their music offers a candid look into the highs and lows of personal experiences, making “Eating Me Alive [Deluxe Edition]” a compelling listen for those who appreciate music that combines catchy melodies with thoughtful, introspective lyrics. This album solidifies Foamboy’s position in the pop landscape, promising a dreamy yet grounded experience for listeners. Check Out “Cool!?!” Below:
