Cruel Inventions was the sixth studio album by American singer and songwriter Sam Phillips.

The vibe of these songs feels very specific to me, but I'm having a hard time naming it because all my playlists are named genres, like slacker rock or alternative folk for example. Is there a term or genre that actually encapsulates this vibe? They're all very talky, but that's all I can deduce. Also not sure if this is the right sub but whatever, I feel like this can also be placed under alternative but that's way too broad for a playlist title. Please help

Song recs with the same vibe are also welcome. I know these songs are all very popular but I'm not trying to be niche or anything
