Francie Cool is “just a normal girl” from Philadelphia who makes an eccentric brand of bedroom pop. wow i really fucked myself up is a four song/snippet EP which serves to highlight the variety of strings present on the Cool bow. ‘sucker’ and ‘avery 3’ are bummed-out bedroom pop in the vein of Boosegumps, consisting mostly acoustic guitar and near-spoken vocals, while ‘daniel’ shows off the stranger side with odd electronics, like the soundtrack to some long-lost 90s anime show, and ‘himeji rag’ is a jaunty piano sing-a-long.
Yes it’s rough, and yes it’s almost over before it begins, but you should think of wow i really fucked myself up as a trailer or a tech demo. We’re hearing whispers that Francie Cool has a full-length coming in spring that you are going to want to hear, but in the meantime you should grab this release from the her Bandcamp page.
