       my third full album, ALL THE WALLS WILL FALL, releases today, 6/18!!ALL THE WALLS WILL FALL is the culmination of over two years of DIY music composition, recording, and production work, and I'm so excited to finally have it out there in the world! these thirteen tracks (twelve listenable for free, plus one exclusive bonus track for purchasing the album) diverge quite a bit from the mostly-instrumental synthwave and downtempo of the ghost fetish. ATWWF is more fuzzed-out and distorted than anything I've released previously, with strong influences from drone, industrial, sound collage, and the icier side of trip-hop. it also features my voice on the majority of the tracks - more than any of my other albums. as with my previous albums, nonbinaural and the ghost fetish, as well as the eclipse EP, I've put this collection of songs up for just $1 minimum purchase price, with a pay-what-you-want tier if you're able to pay more. this pricing setup is designed to keep my music accessible to those with a tight budget. however, please consider paying more if you're able to do so, and if supporting small-time independent artists who don't use "AI" / LLMs is important to you!https://rachelunderspoon.bandcamp.com/album/all-the-walls-will-fall#NewMusic #QueerMusic #TransMusic #Electronic #NewAlbum #NewRelease #Electronica #ElectronicMusic #Drone #Industrial #TripHop

       I'm reflecting more on these songs today, and another thing that occurred to me is that this is the most explicitly political I've ever been, music-wise.hints of my radical politics have always inevitably seeped into past albums - for example, the ghost fetish has a very loose theme of anxiety around climate catastrophe. but on ATWWF, several songs center around topics like transfeminine liberation, fascism, and rebuilding from a devastated world. I'm still trying to decide where to take things next. my head says to lean even more into those topics. my heart says that I need to make some decompression music - maybe that high-BPM EP geared toward ADHD folks that I've had on my brain for ages. only time will tell, I guess. today is the first day of the next phase of my music work. where that takes me is still very much up in the air - but I am itching to get started, and that can't be a bad sign. :blobfox3c:

       someone on a discord server I'm active on asked about what the repeating line at the end of "victoria" means, and I figured I'd post my response here as well, because it's low-key one of the most fucked up things I've ever put in a song:the concept behind that coda is that the girl in the song, Victoria, has just been stabbed by a sleep paralysis demon who may or may not also be her father. she's staring up at her bedroom ceiling, her life slowly leaving her. and she's so desperate for any sort of comfort that she envisions the ceiling as a god or protector figure, keeping her company in her last moments

       my brain: "but Nyx's VA has such a hot voice, that can't possibly be the case"
