Debut EP from Playacting (in search of a record label)

Playacting’s debut EP 'Theatre' is a paper maché puppet show of math and folk, lovingly held together by glue sticks, heartbreak, and a few wires sticking out the back. Evan Wilson’s nimble classical guitar (with a whisper of math rock anxiety) tangles and untangles itself around Robin Koob’s wistful, Americana-soaked violin. It’s all stitched into a soundworld of samples, warped piano strings, and ghostly tape hiss.

Over five winding tracks, Wilson sings in plainspoken lines that sneak up on you—songs about loss, emotional blind spots, and the messes we make for ourselves just to feel something. 'Theatre' might be fragile, but it knows exactly what it’s doing.
