Music — Consumed

2019 · FINNEAS

Blood Harmony arrived at an interesting moment—Finneas was already known as the architect behind Billie Eilish's sound, but this EP proved he wasn't just a producer hiding behind the board. The title track opens with sparse acoustic guitar and layered vocals that justify the harmonically-loaded name, while tracks like 'Claudia' and 'I Lost A Friend' show his ability to write from deeply personal places without falling into confession-booth melodrama.

The production throughout is characteristically minimal—whisper-close vocals, careful use of space, and an almost ASMR-like intimacy that became his signature. What makes it work is the restraint. Where other bedroom pop artists might pile on synths or effects, Finneas knows when to let a vocal sit alone in the mix. 'Break My Heart Again' builds around a simple piano progression that never oversells the emotional weight of the lyrics.

This EP matters because it separated Finneas the collaborator from Finneas the artist. It's not trying to be When We All Fall Asleep—it's quieter, more introspective, less interested in hooks than in moments. The songwriting leans toward the observational rather than the universal, which makes it feel like overhearing someone's voice memos rather than listening to polished pop songs. That intimacy is the point.
