Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Kevin Cole, host of Drive Time on KEXP, is "Overflowing" by Inês Malheiro, from the 2022 album Deusa Náusea on Lovers & Lollypops / Inês Malheiro.
This week's Songs of the Day were selected by KEXP DJ Kevin Cole, host of Drive Time, spotlighting artists playing Tremor Festival, March 28 to April 1, São Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal. Check out their wonderful and wildly eclectic line-up of experimental and groundbreaking bands and artists across genres here.
The debut album from Portuguese artist Inês Malheiro went through a few iterations before finally landing at Deusa Náusea, released late last year. The songs evolved throughout the lockdown, "polarized, reversed, perplexed, epithelialized by espectral processes and beleza pura," as it states on her Bandcamp.
“The album was not all made at the same time, it went through several stages and I would say that this is reflected in the lyrics as well," she told the culture website A Cabine. “I think that on this record I felt that the lyrics were more of a plastic material to guide the voice than an objective source of meaning."
