Semi-Sweet has the intimacy of bedroom lofi folk but also pulls elements from 60’s girl groups, 90’s indie-rock, and modern day electropop, all wrapped up in a sheen of analog warmth. The 7 song ep is tied together by Hellcat Bloom’s lilting, laid-back vocals that belie the harsh honesty of the album’s lyrics. But even the darkest songs are dressed up sweetly in ethereal synths and hypnotic loops, paired with live drums and dreamy guitars.

Hellcat Bloom features Alex Avritch on vocals and songwriting duties, producer Arrica Rose on co-writing, rhythm guitars, backing vocals, synths, and loops, Marc Thomas on lead guitars, Mark W. Lynn on bass and Ryan Brown on drums and percussion. The 7 song ep was recorded at Comp-ny in Los Angeles (Be Hussey engineering) and O2 and The Tree House in Oakland  (Arrica Rose engineering). Mixed and mastered by Dan Garcia at Radio Hill Santa Monica.
