Pema // "Depend" + 'Bad Habits' Pre-Orders!

Pema, the experimental pop project of Alex Napping frontwoman Alex Cohen, has returned with its second album Bad Habits. Our most recent entry in our ongoing cassette series, Bad Habits will be released on 5/18 and is now available for pre-order here. Lead single "Depend" is also now available on all digital outlets:

Bad Habits is a record with a specific mission — to represent the sense of shame that society burdens on women and the journey that Cohen undertook to resolve her own perceived character flaws. Each track on the album examines a particular source of shame. Read more about what Alex had to say about Bad Habits over at Stereogum, and make sure to check out the video for "Depend" below -
