The tracks on KLEPTO, Spill Tab’s third EP, unfold in an emotional panorama, intertwining introspection, audacity, and vulnerability in a genre-bending fusion that goes well beyond the realms of Inide-Pop.
Each song on KLEPTO encapsulates distinct periods from the last two years of Spill Tab’s personal and artistic journey. She uses every track on the EP as a canvas to explore character traits she’s yearned for but has found somewhat elusive. This exercise in emotional projection reaches its apex on the track fetišh, which introduces the EP with an assertive punch of energy.
fetišh is a headfirst slide into KLEPTO’S microcosm. The lyrics boast a bold self-assuredness that Spill Tab remarks is often absent from her personality irl. ‘fetišh’ embodies a dominant, demanding voice in an imagined dialogue, something the singer hopes to authentically incorporate into her personality someday.
The bass-driven Window also shines as a standout track on KLEPTO. Layers of vocals swirl and glide over the twisted, textured soundscape beneath.
The emotional tapestry of KLEPTO is intricately woven. Lamenting introspection mingles with spirited hope, the contrast adding a compelling gravity to the EP. Melodically daring yet authentically vulnerable, KLEPTO feels like a leap of faith into Spill Tab’s artistic evolution.
