"They quickly found a following in the tight-knit New York DIY scene, playing shows with likeminded acts Florist and the Ophelias while starting , a music-focused zine with Ceci Sturman (their bandmate in Sister.). As h. pruz, Pruzinsky makes music with the quiet confidence of someone who knows they made the right decision. That was appropriate for No Glory, an album about falling in love."
"As early as the second track, the cracks are showing. A portrait of " domestic bliss... teetering on the edge of insanity," "Arrival" opens with Pruzinsky marveling that they and a lover "haven't left the house in weeks." Sinking deeper, they struggle not to repeat old patterns: "Let the past coat my lungs/They said the tissue would rot out/But I know that my thoughts are good.""
Hannah Pruzinsky quit a medical career to pursue music full-time and built a following in the New York DIY scene while cofounding a music zine with Ceci Sturman. Performing as h. pruz, Pruzinsky released No Glory, an album about falling in love, and followed it with Red sky at morning. The new record captures the shift from honeymoon to restlessness, pairing gentle acoustic folk with unsettling, often macabre textures. Songs like "Arrival" portray domestic bliss teetering on the edge of insanity, and tracks such as "After Always" juxtapose tender lyrics with rhythms and basslines that suggest pressure and suffocation.
