Greaser is such a pretty boy who’s meant to have his tough walls torn down by the plot, Fresh would get cuteness aggression all day everyday it’d be sooo bad. He’d bully greaser so much. And greaser isn’t powerful like error or ink or nightmare, nor is he truly nonchalant like classic sans, so he has no power whatsoever, it’s SO over for him.

Kiefer Bahrich presents: That’s Alright

A three-song EP from Vancouver’s Kiefer Bahrich channels 70s country rock through a personal lens of doubt, perseverance, and quiet determination.

Kiefer Bahrich’s new EP, That’s Alright, is a concise but revealing exploration of self-discovery, nostalgia, and the enduring pull of classic rock influences. Across three tracks, Bahrich balances upbeat instrumentation with lyrical introspection, creating a collection that feels immediate yet reflective of a past era. Recorded at Rain City Recorders in Vancouver with engineer Emily Ryan, the EP is a statement of both musical identity and personal resilience.

The opening track, “Whiskey Never Forgets,” sets the tone with a retro-tinged power-pop aesthetic. Jangly guitars interlock with steady drums and prominent vocals, crafting a sound that nods to the 70s without feeling dated. Beneath the sunlit instrumentation, Bahrich’s lyrics grapple with personal reflection and memory, capturing a sense of vulnerability beneath the confident exterior of the music. The song’s approachable melody masks an emotional depth, suggesting that the upbeat sound is as much a shield as it is a stylistic choice.

The title track, “That’s Alright,” shifts into blues-rock territory, allowing Bahrich to explore a more expansive sonic palette. The lead guitar work carries a warm, tasteful edge, while his twanged vocals evoke the spirit of Fleetwood Mac and CCR. Yet the song retains a freshness that prevents it from feeling like simple homage. Thematically, it emerges from a particularly intimate moment in Bahrich’s life: a confrontation with self-doubt and discouragement, followed by a late-night surge of inspiration. This narrative informs the song’s emotional weight, turning what could have been a conventional rock tune into a statement of resilience and personal perseverance.

Closing the EP, “Just Pretending” introduces a hypnotic rhythm built around a unique guitar pattern and sparse, open drum beats. The arrangement provides space for Bahrich’s vocals to carry a raw emotionality, underscoring the EP’s overarching theme of navigating life’s uncertainties. While the instrumentation is restrained compared to the previous tracks, it heightens the listener’s awareness of lyrical nuance and the sense of searching that permeates the project.

Throughout That’s Alright, Bahrich demonstrates a keen ability to blend influences into something personally resonant. The EP’s 70s country rock aesthetic is more than nostalgic ornamentation; it frames a narrative of isolation, hope, and the ongoing search for belonging. The music suggests a journey, both literal and emotional, with moments of reflection as well as bursts of release, echoing the artist’s own experiences of road trips, family, and moments of sudden inspiration.
