Following the well-received single and official video for “Airforce blue,” Stockholm-based artist Waterbaby announces the release of the Foam EP (Sub Pop), out June 14th, 2023. Foam’s five tracks were written by Waterbaby and Marcus White, executive produced and mixed by White, and mastered by Johan Åkerström at Cosmos Mastering, all in Stockholm, Sweden.

Foam’s new single “911” – with the whee-oo whee-oos – moves with a doleful indulgence. “Call me when you need someone / I could be your 911,” she sings, like a lovelorn operator on the other end of the line. She gets it: loneliness and love aren’t mutually exclusive ideas– they’re sometimes part of the same thrust of feeling.

Artists have always had a knack for understanding the strange psychological sorcery that comes with crushing on someone. Stockholm-based artist Waterbaby – intimately knows the tiny nuances between love – which is to say, the bond between two people – and the one-sided, up-and-down feelings of infatuation: the plaintive longing, the shifty wanting and the not-wanting, and all the luxuriously intrusive thoughts that come with them. If you’re at all familiar with the patterns of this (il)logic, you’ll find a welcome home in the world of Waterbaby’s rhapsodic, techno-pastoral crush songs.
