Album Notes & Community Reviews

Expanding drastically beyond her shoegaze roots, Jasamine White-Gluz embraces a maximalist, highly eclectic approach to pop music on her first album in five years. The deeply varied tracking explores trip-hop beats, nu-metal guitar tones, and surprisingly tender vocal melodies to examine themes of aging, fertility, and creative rebirth.
