\nAfter ten years spent focusing on acting projects, the sisters Michalka<\/strong> have released an EP, appropriately titled Ten Years<\/em>. The four-song EP, led by single \u201cTake Me<\/strong>,\u201d is a floaty wisp of confectionary dream-pop. The siblings call their music \u201cnostalgic<\/em>,\u201d but it also smacks of the now, with an \u201980s synth style re-popularized by producers like Dev Hynes and Ariel Rechtshaid.<\/p>\n

In adulthood, the Michalkas<\/strong> have much more control over their work (the production of Ten Years<\/strong> was self-funded). Though they have always written their own songs, these are the tracks with which outside hands have interfered the least. \u201cI think the most important thing is that we\u2019ve really grown from being these 16- and 14-year-old songwriters that were writing about experiences that we [hadn\u2019t had yet], like having a boyfriend or losing someone important in your life,<\/em>\u201d says Aly. \u201cWe were just writing those assuming what you would feel like if that happened to you.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite successful acting careers, the press cycle around Ten Years<\/strong> has focused heavily on Aly and AJ<\/strong>\u2019s early iteration. I ask if it is frustrating to keep discussing their teenage selves, to be asked to play old songs. \u201cWe have to do that for the fans, obviously\u2026<\/em>\u201d says AJ to Interview Magazine. \u201cI want them to play some of their music from the very beginning. So I think at the end of the day, we\u2019re pretty great with it<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

The penultimate song of the EP, \u201cPromises<\/strong>,\u201d is a wistful breakup track that elucidates the paranoia of infidelity. Aly<\/strong> and AJ<\/strong> explained that the song has a secondary meaning: in the past they\u2019ve promised new music to fans, only to delay its release. But there\u2019s a line that stands out: \u201cAll this is is another big break, is another big break.<\/em>\u201d There\u2019s a pause before they sing \u201cof promises,<\/em>\u201d making the line about well, broken promises.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
