The Deep Cuts
I think this playlist is a good peek into a sphere of music I listen to a lot. I tend to gravitate towards female vocalists with experimental and/or smooth instrumentals. I don’t look for explicitly low-spirited nor energetic music—I like to vibe, period. This playlist weaves through James K, Arca, John Cale, and Samba-Jean Baptiste, little bit of everything. I listen to discover, not staying put for long, this playist is a good representation of that :P

Favorite Concert Experience
Will have to say seeing Eartheater in Chicago for her Crushing Tour in 2023. I just stood in awe of her the entire show. She also broke a wine glass with her voice, an actual Siren.
