A third of a life, mostly spent ignoring it.

WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?

Billie Eilish · 2019

When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? is Billie Eilish’s debut studio album, released March 29, 2019. Written and produced with her brother Finneas O'Connell in his bedroom studio in Highland Park, Los Angeles, it uses Logic Pro X, a Universal Audio Apollo 8 interface, and Yamaha HS5 monitors with an H8S subwoofer. Its sound centres on amplified bass, minimalist percussion, foley, and acoustic textures — layered with dissonance and distortion to create a rock ’n’ roll feel without rock instrumentation. Eilish later said she 'hated every second' of its creation. It debuted at number one on both the US Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart, and 14 of its 14 tracks (excluding 'Goodbye') charted simultaneously on the US Billboard Hot 100 — a record for a female artist.
