aya – hexed! on Hyperdub, Release Description

ayas incredibly inventive Hyperdub debut album im hole distilled the incisive sonic experimentation of her early run of releases, the tongue-in-cheek giggles of her DJ sets and radio show, and the identity-fluxing lyricism of her live shows into a delirious tug of war between pleasure and dysmorphia. The album was championed from all corners, Best New Music in Pitchfork to Radio 6 DJ Maryanne Hobbs Album of the Year, followed by a run of incredible live shows which drew new listeners further into her world. hexed!, ayas second album, confronts the desperation and dysfunction of addiction. Internalised phobias and suppressed traumas haunt the corridors and golden hours once romanticised on 2021s im hole; daymares concealed by nocturnal afters-hopping and key bag circles. Opener I am the pipe I hit myself with exposes the gray portrait secreted somewhere between the 8th and 9th floors of her previous record. I used to say some shit for sure, I used to say it when I was me-less. hexed! is about what happens when aya turns the lights on.
