Her sophomore EP EVERY RAT WANTS TO CRAWL IN YOUR MOUTH AND CLEAN YOUR TEETH, is a tale of classic heartbreak with an experimental twist. Written partially during 2020 quarantine and spiritually inspired by arthouse horror films and the postmodern novel House of Leaves, EVERY RAT filters emotional collapse through seismic sonic shifts, where soundscapes mutate from ethereal adagios into explosive breakdowns that cohere through GLITCHLETTE’s dynamic vocal hooks. The EP sat unreleased for five years as Marceau left an abusive relationship and weathered the effects of career shifts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The original files were lost, leaving Marceau only with the demos. “I decided to release these versions instead of remaking them because they’re a perfect snapshot of my emotional urgency in the moment I wrote them,” Marceau says. “I’d rather they sound unpolished than unrecognizable.” On EVERY RAT, GLITCHLETTE writes about heartbreak the way some describe horror: as complete existential devastation. Each track is a different act of one narrative: a lovelorn romantic's futile search for freedom from obsession, capturing the internal terror of being haunted by something, or someone, you can’t have.
