about

Not long after completing the Daily Heroic EP, Fatty lost her brother unexpectedly to a serious and rare blood condition. Old Bad Habits is much more than an investigation into darkness. Fatty uses humor to illuminate the darkness and to inspire change. Via Local explores the numbness of a commute between grief and opportunity after losing her brother. Make It So is a hard-hitting, frantic, and devilishly geeky continuation of the Judge Combat and Fatty collaborative antics you loved from Arachnoflowbia. Sweetie Pi gives insight into an obsessive, divided sense of self, and a numbers-related coping mechanism to be able to exist. Where We Left Off is a personal track, a letter of sorts, allowing the listener to experience Fatty's grief. On the title track, Fatty brings in themes from Game of Thrones to explain the rap game and social navigation. Finally, Accio (Nerdy Girls) which delighted PAX East crowds, takes on topics like social anxiety, drug use, and gender dysphoria, cleverly disguised as magic.
