Six Attempts at Being Polite. Six songs. Six cracks in the veneer of polite society — finding the heartbreak, desperation and desire behind every respectable smile and wave. From the infectious chorus of ‘Make Me Into You’, to the cinematic grandeur of ‘Sometimes’, to the heart-breaking quiet shimmer of‘Safety Pins’, Six Attempts at Being Polite is an encapsulation of everything High Windows. Produced by Marc McCouig (engineer for The National, Cat Burns, The Smile, SOFY), the EP confronts identity, desire and despair in the TikTok age.
