Caity Baser Shares Her Sonic Diary With ’Thanks For Nothing, See You Never’


If only every interview began with “I feel a lot of things and talk a lot of shit.” For one, it's an answer that beguiles you into everything great about UK's Caity Baser—a brash disarming honesty that permeates all of her lyrics, a cruising, conversational candor that feels like you are eavesdropping on social royalty. It is a brief yet enlightening introduction to the recovering awkwardly tall, lanky, and sporty teenager who found her best friend in music, and wields it the way cold water immersion wakens your cerebral cortex from sleep. Shocking, but invigorating, a deep breath of humanity in a world fixated on AI and proxy personalities. 

Starting with a slew of singles like "Average Student," "Say it Like That" and "Slut Shaming," all of which culminated in her 2021 debut EP Lil CB, Baser has comfortably navigated the taboos, double standards, and insecurities that most artists only gently brush against as an emo backdrop. Story-driven songwriting, too much rosé, and finding her voice have led to an artist as an avalanche approach, a melodic surge in conductivity that buries the listener in her world, and that cocoon of intense introspection is felt ever more vibrantly in her latest EP Thanks For Nothing, See You Never.

The new EP is a surplus of Baser’s over-sharing narratives, a hit-on-the-head effort beginning with the dizzyingly scathing Pretty Boys," followed by the certified hit "X&Y." The EP plies dark humor into emotional vulnerability, then hardens it quickly to accent-ridden confidence and back again; constantly folding, building, and collapsing with each sonic turn and pivot. 

Culminating on this writer's personal favorite, "2020s" is an anthemic jam that starts as an honest assessment and then piles on, ridiculing those unsolicited advice seekers. While for most this would be a career pinnacle, for Baser it is evident this is just an opening statement, a thanks for joining but stick around… there’s so much more to see,
