Quarter-Life Crisis Shares New Single “Waterfall” Featuring Hovvdy’s Charlie Martin

Quarter-Life Crisis, the musical project of Ryan Hemsworth, shared a new song “Waterfall,” which features Hovvdy’s Charlie Martin. Hemsworth’s self-titled debut EP arrives on Dec. 4 via Saddle Creek and includes collaborations with Frances Quinlan, Claud, Meg Duffy and more.

Martin said of the new single:

Ryan doesn’t know it but this was my first experience writing to someone else’s music. I’m a big fan of his previous work; and it was really exciting to hear him sort of meeting me in the middle style-wise. There are so many hidden gems in the production. Lyrically it explores a parallel I’ve been feeling lately: the difficulty of understanding and feeling understood and how sometimes that struggle almost mirrors the state of the planet. It’s like a downward spiraling feedback loop where any optimism feels like a triumph.
