Sky McKee’s new three-track EP, ‘Less Is Less,’ dives deep into the raw side of human emotions. The EP features “Talking Heads,” “Anita (I’m Losing),” and “Broken Beyond Belief.” Each song lays bare the kinds of personal experiences that are hard to put into words—grief, nostalgia, and embarrassment. McKee keeps things minimal, letting his storytelling shine without unnecessary flourishes, and the simple yet heartfelt instrumentation matches that honesty.
McKee’s journey to this EP started with the little moments that shaped him. Growing up, he found comfort in driving around with his older friend, Evan Moring, listening to mixtapes in a beat-up Volvo. Those drives anchored his love for music, expressed in “Talking Heads,” which captures the warmth and solace of those early days. McKee’s storytelling shares those raw memories, without dressing them up.
‘Releasing ‘Less Is Less’ is another big moment for McKee. After the success of his single “Anita (I’m Losing),” which impacts with its tender take on loss, this EP feels like a natural next step. The direct and present storytelling on ‘Less Is Less’ is one of many refreshing and enjoyable elements of the experience, see for yourself below.
