    Throughout the record’s 12 tracks, Lucy Liyou dances and crawls and bleeds through pain and sex and trauma and transition and desire and shame and acceptance; fear and pleasure are crushed into a singularity of feeling that lodges in the throat.

    It’s a sensation that sneaks up on you, a kind of mania at once funny, alarming and harrowing, and it all adds up to something unlike anything else you’ll hear this year.
