Hachiku - I'll Probably Be Asleep (LP)

When a close friend took an in-advance listen to Hachiku�s debut album, I�ll Probably Be Asleep, she had one question for bandleader Anika Ostendorf: ��why are you so angry?�� It�s not the first reaction that most people would have to the Melbourne-based outfit, whose dream-pop jams �all dewy guitars, rickety drum-machines, and layered ambience, topped off with Ostendorf�s oft-breathy voice� would seem to contain no sharp edges.But, following Hachiku�s self-titled 2017 debut EP, Ostendorf found herself dealing with darker themes; which reflected the 25-year-old growing up, changing, and feeling mounting frustrations.
