Robbie Stickland

Warm Jeans in the Morning [Self Released]

Dublin-based singer-songwriter Robbie Stickland retires his Spongebob Eyelashes moniker for the release of his woozy lo-fi debut, Warm Jeans… From the moment you press play, we’re teleported to Mac Demarco’s 2014 Salad Days period of croony vocal deliveries accompanied by glimmering guitar melodies. Sometimes, however, this influence overtakes the LP. Stickland’s wit shines through as he sings about his desire for a thicker moustache and navigating fraught relationships. Ultimately, Warm Jeans gifts us a summery collection of songs to radiate in the stillness of spring.
