"When a close friend took an in-advance listen to Hachikus debut album, Ill Probably Be Asleep, she had one question for bandleader Anika Ostendorf: why are you so angry Its 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 Ostendorfs oft-breathy voice would seem to contain no sharp edges. But, following Hachikus 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."
