Everly Lux - Selfhood (2023) [Hi-Res]

'Selfhood' is the debut EP from Montreal DIY artist Everly Lux. Recorded and produced with a women/non-binary-only team, this 7-song journey is an ode to becoming and belonging to yourself. Using poetic lyrics, each song is a story that aims to dig deep into the dichotomies of love, grief, violence and reality. 'The Hollow' tries to grasp, define and baptize grief, wondering whether to use 'it', 'you' or 'they' for it. Questioning surrealism and love, songs 'Is It True?' and 'Oranges and Truth' gently allow pop and folk to merge, while 'Spider Lace', an unconventional ballad, crosses the line to darkness, experimenting with electronic. 'Urchin Tooth', the drone-y anger anthem of 'Selfhood', critiques rape culture, followed by 'Two Blue Snake Earrings', a spoken word dreamlike mash of Debussy, Allen Ginsberg poetry and marimba soundscapes. The journey ends with 'Window', a majestic piece that redeems the beauty and the pain of making yourself visible - to others and to yourself.
