Chxll

Chxll is Charlotte Lawrence and Ethan Gruska. Their 2021 debut EP, also called 'Old Habits,' featured the single of the same name. The song's straightforward arrangement and Lawrence's vocal delivery gave it a direct feel that connected with listeners.

They followed that with a full-length album in 2022 titled 'Stolen Summer.' The record had a broader sound than the earlier EP, touching on themes of loss and longing. Some listeners felt the band's move toward a more polished production marked a shift from their initial indie approach.

Lawrence's personal life received attention from tabloids during this period, which at times became a distraction from the music itself. The duo kept working, though, and their songs often carried a message of resilience.
