On his previous music release/comedy special, 2020’s The Golden One, performer Whitmer Thomas announced his arrival boldly: “It fucking hurts to be alive!” His upcoming follow-up EP, Can’t Believe You’re Happy Here, due out March 25, takes a more muted delivery with an even funnier takeaway; Thomas plucks an acoustic guitar and longs to be “a Trevor” in a sea of them, listening to Joe Rogan, microdosing, gaming, vaping, and watching Fight Club. The EP was produced with Melina Duterte from Jay Som, which makes it essential listening by default. —Patrick Hosken
