Aftertouch feels like a neon-lit walk through a suburban neighborhood at 3:00 AM. It is a record of lingering sensations, where Princess Chelsea takes familiar songs by artists like Nirvana, Interpol, and Elvis Presley and strips them of their original context. In their place, she installs a world of shimmering synthesizers, ticking drum machines, and her signature, crystalline glockenspiel. The result is a sound that is simultaneously cold and comforting, like the blue light of a smartphone in a dark room.
How does Aftertouch sound next to the rest of Princess Chelsea's catalogue?
Dreamy saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
