Sky Ferreira: Lost In My Bedroom

Sky Ferreira makes music that sounds like it’s being played in the dark from someone else’s speaker in the next room—intimate and distant at the same time. There’s always something slightly off-kilter about it, like she’s decided to ignore how a song is supposed to work and do something weirder instead. The bedroom-pop thing isn’t an aesthetic choice for her so much as it is the actual terrain she operates in: small, controlled, deeply personal. You get the sense she could care less if anyone’s listening, and somehow that makes you want to listen harder.
