Today's release arrives alongside a video directed by Benni Shumlin for new track "Crawl," which follows previous singles "Sleep Paralysis," "Maybe Delete," "Shatter," and "Nosebleed," which have earned praise and support from The Line of Best Fit, Apple Music 1/The Matt Wilkinson Show, Northern Transmissions, New Noise, Magnet, and more.   "'Crawl' captures the emotional crossroads between youthful optimism and escapism," Liam Creemer (aka Ken Park) explains. "Written right after leaving high school, the song channels the thrill of chasing freedom alongside the thoughts of discarding an old life. It's about a coming of age reflection about leaving comfort behind, rebuilding yourself from the ground up and slowly becoming who you were meant to be." Ken Park is a striking introduction for the budding New York songwriter. Delivered with extreme fervor and conviction, the six tracks on the EP evoke a sense of blissful melancholy–large, modulated guitars collide with pummeling drums, and ethereal soundscapes swirl together with Liam Creamer's wistful, evocative vocals. Ken Park is forward-looking, arriving with a remarkably definitive sound and ethos–made all the more impressive given the band's nascency. The EP solidifies Ken Park as one of the most exciting new voices in indie rock. Ken Park is the apartment-born recording project of San Diego-native, New York–based artist Liam Creamer. Shaped by the sounds and memories of his California upbringing, he draws equally from the radiant harmonies of the ’60s and the hazy roar of ’90s indie rock to create music that feels both timeless and contemporary.  Ken Park - "Crawl" Live Shows: 3/4 - New York, NY - Arlene's Grocery (New Colossus Fest) 3/7 -  New York, NY - Baker Falls (New Colossus Fest) KEN PARK - TRACKLISTING 1.

For Ken Park, it documents a full coming of age. Ken Park, the self-titled EP, is the culmination of a six-year journey that began while Liam Creamer was still in high school. Its earliest song, “Sleep Paralysis,” was written and recorded when he was just 17, using only an iPhone. Rather than revisiting or refining it years later, Creamer chose to preserve the original recording, embracing the rawness and immediacy of a first creative breakthrough as an essential part of the song’s identity. That philosophy guided the creation of the EP as a whole. Recorded in bedrooms over several years and on both coasts, it was completed in 2025 in his newly adopted home of Brooklyn, New York. Ken Park reflects a wide range of influences and a restless creative curiosity—from the shoegaze-tinged blast that opens “Maybe Delete” to the introspective, ambling folk of “Crawl.” The EP is intentionally multifaceted, with each song capturing a distinct moment in Creamer’s personal life and evolving musical tastes. The final track written and recorded for the release, “Dragonfly,” is caustic and deliberately extreme, standing in stark contrast to the gorgeously shimmering “Sleep Paralysis” created years earlier. Its dry, Slint-like percussion and harsh, JAMC-inspired guitar feedback point clearly to his influences, while also reflecting the unraveling end of his first full year in New York—a period that left him alone in a nearly empty apartment, with little more than the music itself. With distance, Creamer views the EP as a document of growth shaped as much by uncertainty as intention. The long, winding path to his first proper release—missteps included—ultimately became part of its meaning, capturing an understanding that life rarely unfolds as planned, and that its unpredictability is precisely the point.
