In "Overgrown", Low Girl welcomes listeners into an emotional garden of contemplation, where resilience meets weariness, and personal growth sounds less like triumph and more like survival. The third single off their hotly anticipated debut LP, "Is It Too Late To FREAK OUT?", this track has distilled that moment we all experience down to its musical essence when you are just about sick of the character-building chapters of life.
"Overgrown" achieves this balance of intimacy and brilliance starting with its first few notes. The instrumentation flows at a leisurely, deliberate pace, catchy but laid-back, efficiently supporting Sarah's calming yet subtly commanding vocals. Her style is conversational, candid, and disarmingly human, cloaking the raw in warm and relatable emotion. There's something magical about the way her voice hangs on a couple of phrases, as if she's speaking to you rather than performing for you.
The song explores the fatigue that arises from striving to improve oneself, as well as the emotional exhaustion that follows each hard-won lesson. But even at its most introspective, "Overgrown" is never leaden. Its melodic ease and memorably hummable chorus is the sort of track that sneaks up on you, consoling while never-elusive truths come knocking.
A taste of "Is It Too Late To Freak Out?", "Overgrown" is a wistful and engaging preview of Low Girl's growing artistry. It's tender, self-aware, and lush. "Overgrown" takes deeper, longer roots in your mind with each listen, blooming into one of Low Girl's most emotionally resonant releases yet.
