Come Home to Mama

A sharp, synth-inflected exploration of grief and motherhood. Jagged vocals cut through icy electronic textures to find a bruised, beautiful core.

A stark, confrontational beauty born from the collision of new life and profound loss.

Moments Worth Listening For
The devastating, high-register vocal cracks on the cover of her mother's song Proserpina.
The jarring contrast of the cold drum machine beat against the raw emotional plea in Can You Believe It.
The way the acoustic demos at the end of the record strip away the electronics to reveal the skeletal pain of the songwriting.
