Last week, I went to see a friend of a friend's band perform at the Williamsburg Music Hall and ran into a music engineering colleague I hadn't seen in a while—we exchanged updates, mine about producing in Argentina and his about being in Ohio for a month. Just a while before that, I'd unfollowed hundreds of people, an attempt to purge myself from slop and banal posting.
After running into him at the show, I of course got served one of his posts on my FYP about a project he’d worked on with an upcoming artist, Avara. I’ve been listening to the album all day—think Jhene Aiko if she were Desi.

Not to let one of my very closest and most favorite songs out of the bag but here goes. The first time I ever heard this song I was driving to Wyoming with one of the best friends a man could ask for. This was two years ago, the sun was setting over the wind river range leaving an orange glow and rain around the mountains. I’d go On to work there for a summer two years later, not in a small part because of that trip and my buddy (and a similar trip with my father 2 years before that).
Today back in the Midwest on the commute to my job I don’t really enjoy, 6 hours from my dear friend, In the Shadow of the Valley comes on and i tear up a little. Part of me will always be on that drive, and this lovely song lets me go there again, if only for a few seconds. Happy Friday love your friends while they live close :)

Hi this is my friend aniquilla I’m not even trying to be biased but I really love her music and she’s my friend.
She creates really soft electronic and beautiful songs, they feel nostalgic and psychedelic.
i interviewed her a while back but I never edited and finished the whole thing, I’ve been thinking of doing it bc I feel really bad that I haven’t.

I caught a cold earlier this week and decided to ignore its subtle, yet deleterious and lingering effects on my body. On the fourth day (yesterday), after high-intensity training and taking two capsules of psilocybin, I decided to drive to the local café to put in some more work. I’d been listening to this song all day—my head was rolling. If there was ever a moment that I’d felt closer to damnation, it was when I walked into the building and wished for complete annihilation. This isn’t anything new—I’ve experienced these episodes on and off since I was a child. But something about this particular bout made me realize I should be grateful, judge less, and have mercy. I called loved ones to tell them how sorry I was for words I’d said and actions I committed that may have hurt them—almost as a final act of salvation before my ultimate oblivion.
I met Lucifer at the bleeding edge, shrieked into the void—with one last gesture of love, forgiveness, and meaning—and anchored myself back to earth.

This song is something potent!
