Juliet Ivy weaves raw emotion and delicate storytelling across a "tiny but scary" sophomore EP that solidifies her as a rising voice in indie folk-pop. Packing both self and world seriatim, she follows the playpen she carved out of her 2023 iron-grit debut with a set of songs that strike out with both introspection and universality, trucking insecurity, femininity, and childhood nostalgia into a sonic quilt of self-discovery.
"tiny but scary" contains the weird and beautiful paradox of growing up, that no matter how many years stretch between you and childhood, life can still reduce you to a whirlwind of insignificance. Across five beautifully wrought tracks, Ivy explores her changing relationship with her parents, the poignancy of self-doubt, and the gentle epiphany you sometimes need to call home.
From the painfully unguarded "Is it my face? to the intimate, heartfelt storytelling of "4 foot 2," Ivy's lyricism crackles with quiet intensity. Each song is akin to a journal entry brought to life, coursed through sunny acoustic melodies and weightless indie-pop production. In only 13 minutes and 33 seconds, tiny but scary invites listeners into a space where innocence collides with the complexities of adulthood, one that is both familiar and deeply individual.
With this release, Juliet Ivy cements that she is heard and truly felt. "tiny but scary" welcomes uncertainty, recognizes what has come before, and leaps into the unknown with open arms. Listen now and see or hear the magic of Ivy's storytelling for yourself.
