Small Town Sci-Fi’s Debut EP Displays Heart Wrenching Honesty

In his debut EP Psycho, Small Town Sci-Fi grapples with the pain of loss and attempts to find some semblance of sanity on the other side. 

Lo-fi indie rocker, Small Town Sci-Fi divulges the inner workings of his heart on debut EP Psycho out 26 May. The California-based artist, also known as Jonathan Suarez, became interested in the world of music after a death in the family which shook Suarez to his core. Pouring his energy into song, Suarez explains that this EP was his chance to “be honest with myself and to the people who might listen. I wanted to discuss things as they really were and not how I wanted them to be.” Despite only recently picking up guitar and songwriting, his 4-track EP spans almost all stages of grief with heart wrenching candor and admirable vulnerability. Like an edgier version of Sufjan Stevens’ Carrie & Lowell, Suarez balances deep pain with moments of illuminating introspection.
