Interview: Famous singer Jack Merrett goes deep on their “quarter life crisis” mini-album The Valley

“Now I very much see The Valley as like this kind of strange quarter life crisis album. It gets into the last throes of adolescence and that transition period between childhood and adulthood; the sort of deterioration of certainty, how wild and unstable that period of time can be. It’s weird as well, because, culturally, we have a lot of vocabulary to describe the turbulence of being a teenager, but being a young adult it doesn’t seem like we have the same language to describe the particular kind of despair that that often brings about for people. Even though I think everyone experiences the sort of classic early-20s experience of wondering what the hell this all means and where it’s all going.”
