Reminiscing as a stage of grief, the new self-titled EP from Goodbye Max demonstrates an ongoing melancholy, with a sense of appreciation. Expressing regret over choices made and carrying the weight of those decisions afterward, there’s an innocent fragility to the bedroom-folk sound. Moving forward is such a difficult process, especially when the people from the past had such a meaningful impact/influence. It sometimes feels like living in the present discounts that importance; however, it’s just part of emotional evolution.
