Music: Dirt Buyer: Choosing Vulnerability in the Lo-Fi World of "Get To Choose"

Dirt Buyer is a lo-fi indie rock/emo trio based in New York City, primarily featuring Joe Taylor (vocals, guitar, principal songwriter). The band is known for its unpolished, raw aesthetic and deeply introspective songwriting, often exploring themes of anxiety, vulnerability, and young adulthood. They gained recognition with their 2019 self-titled debut, and the song "Get To Choose" is a standout track from their 2021 album, Blemish.

"Get To Choose" embodies their signature sound, built around a tender, slightly wobbly guitar melody and Taylor's distinctive, gentle vocals. The song’s vibe is melancholy and introspective, focusing lyrically on the idea of emotional resignation and quiet acceptance. The central theme examines the burden or illusion of freedom in one's emotional life and relationships, reflecting on feeling overwhelmed by options or, conversely, accepting a perceived lack of control.
