    Enjoyed seeing her live once, but her first record didn’t click with me.

    The three songs already out from this album are fucking great, though. If the other tracks follow suit, this will no doubt be in the top 5 of my AOTY list

    Update—yep, record is massive, will indeed be playing it heaps. Was personally hoping for more uptempo tracks like “1990”, but that’s not at all a complaint.

    Tour announcement just dropped. Lincoln Hall has the show there billed as the record release.

    If I wasn’t going to two Julien Baker shows and then Samia back to back to back nights the days prior I would consider going but I don’t think I can do four shows in a row.

    I also didn’t realize she was big enough to headline Lincoln Hall. That’s awesome!

    I don’t believe she is, but it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve seen a smaller local act do a record release show at LH. Either way, should be a great time.

    From the song page on Bandcamp:

    “Recently, I have been experiencing a very intense fear of the end of the world. I think what it really means is I am having trouble visualizing the future. Any time someone asks me about it, I feel paralyzed. I read a lot of fantasy books to soothe myself in the past two years (including Juliet Marillier’s Sevenwaters series) and keep thinking about my ancestors and how they might have dealt with the changing of their worlds. Did they dream of escaping somewhere despite not knowing what the outcome might be? Or was it the hardest thing in the world to leave everything they knew, would they have preferred to stay where they were and watch everything around them change beyond recognition? I sense that this fear in me is very old and predates my existence. This song helped me explore it and think about my personal addition to its legacy.”
