Sugarpuss’s debut EP is a small collection of songs that vary so much from each other in style, subject and mood that it closely mirrors the unpredictable lava flow of chemicals that occur in the mind of the common psychotic teen:
Falling Outta Love
the seemingly infinite high of a flirtatious party
Drinking Alone
the sarcastically reflective and self-loathing
Insomnia
the rebelling and darkly experimental
Masquerade
the hopelessly in love
They’re Gonna Close The Planet Down
the “ lets save the world”
Place For A Gun
the nostalgic memories of good times that haven’t yet occurred
