Crisis As Usual is an indie-pop album about the mental stressors of modern society. The first half deals with external issues like political division, unethical capitalist practices, and more, before moving on to internal problems like anxiety and depression. The lyrics explore how these outward and inward-facing struggles are related, and how they can seem to feed off each other. Despite the heavy themes, the album has many moments of hope, and serves as a reminder that no one person has to go through this alone.
