Surround seats the audience onstage with the artist 鈥� where each note and whisper is shared in a collective resonance
South Carolina singer and producer describes her songwriting process like an undertow: 鈥淚 feel a strange pull, and let it carry me, following swirling leaves... whole days roll by, forgetting about the body.鈥� Her full-length debut, Exit Simulation, captures this sense of deep-rooted divination, cycling between simmering ballads, ghosted R&B, downtempo gospel, and looped vocal improvisations 鈥� often within the same track. The title is taken from a science fiction novel they read during the purgatory of the pandemic, alluding to a dimensional ideation of departure 鈥� 鈥渢he permission to imagine leaving.鈥�
