Produced as part of an artist in residency program with City of Shoreline Public Art Program, the album was self-released by the artist on June 4, 2021, with vinyl and cassettes produced by Fourth Strike Records. The album's title is an acronym for its two title tracks, "There is a Place for You Here" and "This is a Protest for Your Heart!!!" The album's title was announced on March 26, 2021 as t.i.a.p.f.y.h.[1]

Release[]

On March 26, 2021 Nat Puff announced that she would be working on her debut studio album, T.I.A.P.F.Y.H., as part of an artist in residency program with an at the time unannounced group.[2] She clarified that You Are Not Alone Enough, the album previously announced as her debut, was pushed back.[3] Puff had another record planned, "a Sufjan Stevens–type project, a concept album about Seattle and King County and Washington state". One song from this project, "The Ballad of Marion Zioncheck" was included on T.I.A.P.F.Y.H.[4]

Composition[]

T.I.A.P.F.Y.H. is an indie pop,[5] lo-fi, and indie folk album[6] that takes influence from an eclectic array of styles[4] including folk,[4] hyperpop,[5] hip-hop,[4] disco,[4] and electronic music.[7]

Critical reception[]

Michael Rietmulder of The Seattle Times praised the song "Pills & Good Advice", calling it "a masterfully ambitious suite, and loaded with twists and turns" and praised Puff's "era-spanning attention to songcraft and deftness working with a broad and contemporary sonic palette."[5]
