Following the release of her July EP, The Ceiling Could Collapse, Rachel Bobbitt has returned with The Ceiling Demos, a three-track tape comprising early versions of half the cuts on that project: “Bandage,” “More,” and “Gemini Ties.”
Where The Ceiling Could Collapse was a polished and self-contained collection of soft-rock ballads, the newly released demos are quiet, acoustic, and wonderfully understated, exposing a side of each track that’s completely vulnerable and thus entirely open to alternate potentialities. The Ceiling Demos offers fans of Bobbitt and newcomers to her music alike an intimate view into her process, like peaking into an apartment as a new tenant is just beginning to unpack. Listen below.
