The Art of Self-Sabotage

This Always Happens

Ari Carter's Sophomore release, born to a time of great tumult.

The album opens with a simple prediction (and a hope): "By this time next year, I think we'll know." From there, Carter explores the instability and depression following a significant breakup, visiting the concepts of abandonment and dependence, both as embodied narratives and projections, and the way these shape the context for self-sabotaging behaviors.

This record is about taking ownership and finding liberation through the expression of loss, through recognition of familiar(and familial) elements. The phrase "this always happen to me" is both a red flag and a signal that you just might be the common denominator orchestrating a recurrent outcome.

The album concludes with a determined (and hopeful) lyric: "I'll be more prepared for love next time."
