En Route is a new project spearheaded by Clique guitarist P. J. Carroll. Alongside drummer Charlie Singer (Sorority Noise/Old Gray) and bassist Ruben Polo (Soul Glo), the Philadelphia-based trio makes dulled-out rock music that hits a sweet spot between wallowing and self-possession. “I Am The Problem” is the first track they’re sharing from their debut EP, Then Is A Song, and it’s a gray landscape centered around Carroll’s pinched voice. “Am I the problem?” he asks as the song crescendos into a bleary but melodically-attuned simmer. Listen below.
