Opener ‘in the car’ offers a picture of an overbearing homelife (the only time I could ever really be alone / was after dropping everybody off at home / waiting for the stop sign to turn green / blinking through the high beams”) set to a dappled rhythm, while ‘Stove Coil’ punctuates a sedate, listless lethargy with the sharp violence hinted at in the album’s title. “Spiral glowing red / on the razor’s edge,” Ortiz sings, “a sting and a sweetness / will I feel it.” A strange mixture of pain and pleasure which could represent the entire action of the record. Approaching something which will almost certainly hurt, yet glows alluringly all the same. VSF

Cause I'm just a one time wonder
A fickle lover
On close examination made of glass
Winter or summer
Clear skies or thunder
I'm not really here I'm in the past
I'm just a star that never shined
A mountain no one wants to climb
I don't know how to live under the light
But I'm thankful that I've had
The chance to touch the souls I have
I'll take that any day in lieu of life...

“a gauzy electronic-pop sound that suggests Arthur Russell, Tirzah, and Jamie xx, and feels more than fitting for the current moment.”
The Guardian
“Her hypnotic, hazy voice draws you in from the first verse.”
METAL
“The floaty vocals take you to another galaxy, somewhere far away from reality. It’s hauntingly beautiful.”
enfnts terribles
“Valentina’s vulnerability is her strength, making her a beacon for those navigating the tumultuous waters of love, self-worth, and identity.”
