Brittany Sheets' early 2010s project built sparse, plainspoken songs that found listeners online.
For the project's feel, 'Wet Cigarette' and 'Using You' frame it well. They're both built around simple keyboard lines and that detached vocal delivery.
The music arrived through YouTube around 2009 with a specific, unadorned sound. Songs like 'Wet Cigarette' and 'Using You' used simple keyboard lines and drum machines to frame lyrics that felt like private thoughts. That homemade quality connected with a small but dedicated circle of listeners who kept finding the recordings years later.
The project surfaced online with the EP 'The Runaway' and songs like 'Runaway Runaway'. After a few years of activity, new material stopped appearing, but the existing tracks remained. The music's particular style, sparse electronics and plainspoken vocals, continued to circulate and find listeners over time.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
