Shane Boose, 20, of Sombr held a record-release party on the Chateau Marmont patio ahead of his debut album I Barely Know Her. After performing the disco-funky single "12 to 12," Boose jumped into the hotel's turquoise pool and was joined by his backing band, creating a celebratory scene. Sombr combines high-panache indie aesthetics, arch wit, and genuine feeling while achieving Hot 100 traction via a TikTok breakout. The project scaled rapidly to multi-night L.A. shows and a Coachella preview, producing both exhilaration and pressure amid touring and financial obligations.
"Please go stream the album,"
"I really need to pay back this advance."
"The pool thing was completely unplanned. I didn't know that my band was gonna follow me in. It was one of those rare times when I'm not so stressed about this career. I just felt like I was finally enjoying it and just living."
