"Im hole" is an incredibly inventive Hyperdub debut album by aya, distilling the incisive sonic experimentation of her early releases, the tongue-in-cheek giggles of her DJ sets an d radio show, and the identity fluxing lyricism of her live shows into a delirious tug of war between pleasure and dysmorphia. The album received acclaim from all corners, including being named 'Best New Music' by Pitchfork and Maryanne Hobbs declaring it 'Album of the Year' on Radio 6. The album's incredible live shows drew new listeners further into aya's world. Hexed!, aya’s second album, confronts the desperation and dysfunction of addiction. Internalized phobias and suppressed traumas haunt the corridors and golden hours once romanticized on im hole; daymares concealed by nocturnal afters-hopping and key bag circles. The 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. Tracklist: 1. I Am the Pipe I Hit Myself With2.
