With a weary vocal delivery that comes with an implied frown, Suki Waterhouse's combination of dingy, lovelorn retro-pop, generous reverb, and sturdy melodic hooks landed her on the Sub Pop label on the strength of self-released singles like "Brutally" (2016) and "Good Looking" (2017). Meanwhile finding steady acting work in film and on television, the singer/songwriter/actor/model made her debut on the label with I Can't Let Go in the first half of 2022. Before the end of the year, the Milk Teeth EP collected early material including "Brutally" and "Good Looking."
