[Weekly Mix] 2021.08 (5)

"I guess I don't worry about love..." 

The opening lyric to River Allen's full debut EP as Ghost Piss finds the multi-hyphenate artist in a different place, both literally and figuratively, than when we last listened to her step out for the defiant March 2020 single, "Beats in Bed". Expanding her DIY sound to expound upon new scenes, new feels and a new world that continues to shift into unpredictable shapes in 2021, the Blushing EP is an encapsulating statement from the Ghost Piss project that feels comforting, urgent and sardonically necessary in equal measure. From NYC to Richmond to the deep forests of Oregon, River has taken her musical alias to another level in a year unlike any other.

Featuring two new original tracks written, produced and sung by Allen in addition to a suite of electrifying remixes from Jubilee, Kareem Ali and Bergsonist, the Blushing vibe is playful yet biting with a beautiful propensity to wear its heart on its sleeve. From resigned yet empowering acceptance on "Worry" to tongue-in-cheek club observations on "Hardcore" from her time spent performing and tending bar at NYC dance venues (as well as tending the garden at The Lot Radio), Ghost Piss brings her fragility to the fore while maintaining an incisive wit for an easy "fuck you" when pushed too far (as seen on the single, "Beats in Bed").

Jubilee cranks up the intensity on a flip of "Beats in Bed" that follows her recent Miami bass and electro experiments with a muscular, synth-heavy banger primed for peak-time dance floors, while Phoenix's preeminent cosmic explorer Kareem Ali sends "Worry" to the stars for an emotional, uptempo remix that's tailor-made for the dreamers out there. Styles vet and prolific rhythm scientist Bergsonist rounds out the reworks with a percussive breakdown of "Beats in Bed" that siphons the energy of the original into a meditative, grooving trip into the early morning.

Blushing will be released as a closing ceremony to a long, hot summer on September 23, 2021 in digital and physical forms on Styles Upon Styles.

I don’t think I’ll ever get to know her
But we spent some time one summer back
It was a beautiful summer where nobody’s watched over
By the fallen angels climbing their way back
And nothing comes to mind
If I think of any kind words we had
Or good times from bad
Who can tell?
Listen now, I mean it when I tell you
The girl, she had a mind all her own
Like when she asked me once “Are you good at keeping secrets?
Cause if you tell you’ll live a thousand years alone.”
Well, nothing comes to mind
If I hear any mention of her name
It hits me just the same
If I don’t
The sun was like a giant, sick and kneeling
The river was all mixed up with his sweat
The grass was sweet and calming in the open air
Cause the autumn wind hadn’t got there yet
But nothing comes to mind
No, it’s no good
It makes me sad
Like I knew it would

A compelling first glimpse of their latest body of work entitled A Mannequin, lead single Neo-Nostalgia blends the forward-thinking electronica of Jessy Lanza and Yves Tumor, along with the soft, soulful pop of Babeheaven and Erika de Casier.
