Philadelphia-based trio Caring Less have unveiled Whatever You Want, a four-track EP that channels emotional rawness, haziness and just enough gritty realism. Their steadily built reputation for textured, unique alternative sounds has held Sara Johnson, Ryan Acito and Nicholas Kreh as staples within the Philly circuit, with regional radio support and vivid performances.
Released as they gear up for a Northeastern tour, Whatever You Want is a whirlwind of tension, confession and catharsis. Its themes of love, growth and heartbreak are not just conveyed lyrically, but in a sonic palette in which every element has a sense of aching and dreamlike disassociation.
Amongst this refined selection, sticky hooks and brooding undercurrents make this a great listen on the surface, but truly rewarding when you dive a little deeper. Recorded at Philadelphia’s Headroom Studios, the EP captures both the polish and pulse of a band hitting its stride.
“We wrote the songs on the ‘Whatever You Want’ EP together to capture the tensions of love and loss that we’ve experienced individually and collectively through our mid-20’s,” the band explain. “We brought these songs to the Philadelphia recording institution Headroom Studios to help us continue evolving our soulful and dreamy rock and roll sound.”
