Phoebe Green - The Container EP

'Rage Of A Kid' opens with gauzy layers that gradually take shape, like watching a Polaroid film develop in real-time. It's Green at her most patient, letting anticipation simmer until it nearly boils over. 'What Are You Doing' emerges as the collection's crown jewel, wrapping brutally frank observations about relationship dysfunction in deceptively bright packaging. "I think you hate me; I think you hate yourself more," she offers, making emotional evisceration sound like casual breakfast chat.

On 'Precious Things', Green turns obsession into art. Her confession, "I wish that I could live inside you", arrives wrapped in production that manages to be both welcoming and slightly suffocating, rather like the feeling it describes. 'I Could Try To Change' meanwhile is perhaps the most intimate and revealing cut here, a lesson in low self-esteem.

The EP concludes with 'IV', stripping everything back to its bare bones. It's a shared secret masquerading as a personal confession, the kind of track that reveals its true power when sung back by a room full of strangers who've all lived their own version of its truth.

Recorded between her Manchester flat and her childhood home in Lytham St Annes, these songs benefit from their homegrown roots. This is the sound of an artist growing comfortable with imperfection, creating something that feels both more daring and more genuine than before.
