Poor Aim: Love Songs

Khaela Maricich--after spending the past several years lovingly crafting pop songs of naive complexity under the assumed names The Blow (K Records) and Get The Hell Out of the Way of the Volcano-- has joined forces with States Rights Records recording artist Jona Bechtolt (Y.A.C.H.T, The Badger King) to craft her most realized work to date--Poor Aim: Love Songs. As the premier co-release of Slender Means Society and States Rights Records collaborative Pregnancy Series, the EP is a laser-focused re-evaluation of the Blow's already celebrated vision; her stuttered, minimalist pop tones, undulating synths, languid bass ambiance, and longing lyrics delivered in post coital hush--married with Bechtolt's crystalline, progressively adept production sensibilities. The product is unlike any other in Maricich's uncompromising discography--a dramatic leap of sonic and conceptual clarity that maintains Maricich's indelibly singular voice. A concept record loosely unified in failings--songs about failed love, and conversely, love songs that fell short - Poor Aim explores love's yearnings, deceptions, addictions, and ultimately, its complacency.
