Holly Humberstone – The Walls Are Way Too Thin [Black Vinyl EP]

Description

Holly Humberstone keeps The Walls Are Way Too Thin tighter and more immediate than a full album statement, using this six-song EP to sharpen the confessional writing and nervous melodic pull that defined her early breakout. The songs move through unstable relationships, loneliness, and emotional spillover without losing their pop shape, which gives the record a directness that suits the format well. This black vinyl record edition is the 6-track heavyweight pressing with a printed inner sleeve.

“Haunted House” opens with one of the EP’s strongest hooks, while the title track turns emotional claustrophobia into a bigger, more forceful chorus. “Please Don’t Leave Just Yet” slows the pace and leans harder into heartbreak, and “Thursday” keeps the writing intimate without losing momentum. “Scarlett” and “Friendly Fire” round out the set with the same mix of precision, anxiety, and melodic control, which is why the EP lands as more than a stopgap between larger releases.

What makes this EP work is how little excess it carries. Holly Humberstone gets straight to the tension in each song, and the shorter format helps the writing stay exposed rather than overbuilt. The reverse-board sleeve and printed inner sleeve suit an EP built on direct writing and a tighter six-song format.
