Album Notes & Community Reviews

Inspired by both the political turmoil of the time and a family health crisis, 'Native Invader' is a journey into darkness and resilience. The album blends Tori Amos's signature art-pop style with a more prominent electronic and 80s-synth-pop influence. It's a lush, atmospheric, and deeply personal record that uses the imagery of nature to explore themes of grief, loss, and the need to find light in dark times.
