Album Notes & Community Reviews

Crafted following a devastating apartment fire that left the artist severely injured and her archives destroyed, the record functions as a frantic act of survival and reconstruction. The dizzying, maximalist compositions rapidly splice soaring piano melodies and autotuned pop vocals into aggressive, drill-n-bass percussion frameworks.
