An indie-rock song about religious fear? That’s “I Think I’m Going to Hell” by Bad Self Portraits. It’s the final single from the debut full-length album by the Omaha-based indie-rock band Bad Self Portraits.
“I Think I’m Going to Hell” touches on the story of the band’s vocalist, Ingrid Howell, who grew up in a religious household while struggling with undiagnosed obsessive-compulsive disorder. Want a brief take? Here it is: it’s expressive with a punk edge. The lyrics carry an ironic tone and pose a provocative question about God, making you both reflect and smirk at the same time.
