Creative Writing is a new indie rock band featuring members of Huevos II, Luxor Rentals, Jeanines, Sore Eros, and Estrogen Highs. Their debut LP Baby Did This delivers 10 sharp, hook-filled songs blending jangly guitars, surreal lyrics, and nods to 80s/90s college rock.

Creative Writing is the latest musical endeavor from members of Huevos II, Luxor Rentals, Sore Eros, Jeanines and Estrogen Highs. Formed in late 2023, the group builds upon their previous experiences with songs that buzz, roar, and chime in ways that anyone of any gen – X or otherwise – with an ear for indie guitars would plead nolo to.

Their first full length, Baby Did This presents ten songs that vary widely in mood and intensity, from the opening track "I Love You," an ode to solidarity in dark times, to the lucid dreaming of "Rain" which closes the album. In between we find allusive examinations of alienated mundanity Memory Light, Sister, Feel and Glass Days each cover this territory in their own offhand ways. Nelson's songs Hallway and Slice & Dice enter darker areas of surreal angst, altogether. Can't Thank You Enough's Chilton-esque chords chime over a loping rhythm section and backing harmonies that spread like sunshine on an open highway.

Self-recorded by the band and engineered/mixed over a span of 18 months by guitarist Jeff Morkeski, the album emphasizes structure and discipline over more spontaneous gestures.
