Communing at the triangulation of words, music and image, O'Brien has always conjured powerful worlds: but none more powerful, or as immersive, than on her debut record. In the space that exists between her delivery - at once wry, silky, vicious, and self-assured - and the music - a dynamic, dancing call-and-response from her collaborators, guitarist Julian Hanson and drummer Oscar Robertson - lies a productive tension. Using a method of creating on-instinct, in constant communication with multisensory cues, O'Brien is carving out a space as a musical oracle for an ever-shifting era. The 11-track album was produced by indie super-producer Dan Carey (Fontaines DC, Squid, Black Midi, Kae Temptest, Bat For Lashes, Hot Chip, Franz Ferdinand) and recorded in his south London studio Mr Dan's in late 2021.
