Happy 2017! To kick things off, I wrote a lazy, hazy tribute to the venerable Persona 4.
My November was rough, and I disappeared into the game to clear my mind. I think the narrative’s focus on inner turmoil, how we present ourselves to the world, and empathy really spoke to what I was going through, and I became very attached to the universe. Grateful, even. I wanted to make those feelings permanent and named this song for the tiny town it takes place in: Inaba.
Truthfully, I’ve been anxious about this track; I feel a little naked without my usual aesthetic, but I wanted to grow in different directions and embrace momentum over perfection. While you won’t hear direct references, you might find allusions to the story if you listen (and look) carefully.
Hopefully it sits well with you guys and thank you as always for listening! If you enjoy it, you can grab it on Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, or Spotify.
