spill tab Roamer Review: Decoding the Gritty New Single from AngieAngieAngie

spill tab’s “Roamer” is the Perfect Soundtrack for Feeling a Little Lost

If you’ve been following spill tab (Claire Chicha) for a minute, you know she doesn’t really do “predictable.” She has this way of making songs that feel like they’re held together by duct tape and genius—gritty, a little glitchy, but always catchy. Her new single “Roamer” is exactly that energy, and it might be her most honest track yet.

Dropped alongside the deluxe version of her album Angie, “Roamer” feels like the musical equivalent of a 2 AM walk when you’re trying to clear your head but your thoughts are too loud.

The Vibe: Pure “Beautiful Chaos”

“Roamer” doesn’t try to be a polished pop hit, and that’s why it works. It’s got that signature spill tab “crunch”—acoustic guitars that sound like they were recorded in a bedroom, interrupted by heavy, industrial bass that hits you out of nowhere.

• The Sound: It’s grunge-adjacent but still keeps those sweet, bilingual melodies we love from her.

• The Mood: It’s about that weird tug-of-war between wanting to be “someone” and wanting to completely disappear.

“It’s a song for anyone who feels like they’re moving at 100mph but isn’t entirely sure where they’re heading.”

Why it Hits Different Right Now

In an era where everyone is trying to curate the perfect “main character” life on social media, “Roamer” is a breath of fresh air. It’s a song about “contemporary aimlessness.” It captures that feeling of being an outsider even when you’re in the middle of a crowd. It’s raw, it’s a little bit lonely, and it’s deeply relatable.

Catch the Energy Live

If you haven’t seen spill tab live yet, you’re missing out. She brings a chaotic, high-energy DIY spirit to the stage that makes these songs feel even more alive. She’s currently hitting cities like Vancouver, Seattle, and LA this March—go if you can.

“Roamer” is streaming everywhere now. Put it on, lean into the mess, and remember that it’s okay not to have the map figured out yet.
