Love Me Too Well, I'll Retire Early

Love Me Too Well, I'll Retire Early is the fourth EP by Scottish musician Katie Gregson-MacLeod. It was released on 4 July 2025, via Last Recordings on Earth.

Background

The EP was produced by Josh Scarbrow and recorded in a Helmsdale studio. On 10 April 2025, Gregson-MacLeod released the EP's first single, "Mosh Pit". "James" was released as the second single on 21 May 2025.

Reception

Sophie McVinnie of DIY assigned the EP a four-star rating and described it as ditching "the heavy piano ballads in favour of an intimate splay of strings, often nudging her along like soft waves beneath a sailboat."

It received a three-star rating from the Skinny, whose reviewer Adam Clarke remarked, "Gregson-Macleod's eye for intimate moments means the EP is as warm and personal as the rest of her work," noting a lack of piano use in the project.
