As Arrom, Melissa combines poetic magic-realism, brooding synth-scapes, ethereal vocals and dark electronic beats, taking her influences from choral, industrial, and avant-garde electronica.\u2028 Much of Arrom\u2019s discography explores the sonic harmony of opposing forces &#8211; water and wind, the earth and flesh. The body is a recurring theme in Arrom\u2019s work; exposed nerves, hallucinations, the sensation of touch, where one form ends and another begins.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIn many ways my music is a sort of manifestation of my coming to terms with my own limits\u201d,<\/em> says Arrom, <em>\u201cthe physical limits of my body, the line between fantasy and reality in my mind and how and where the rest of the world fits into all of that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2028\u2028But Still We<\/em> is the second studio release following her debut LP <em>Take My Lymphs<\/em>. <em>\u2028\u2028But Still We<\/em> digresses from the consistent form of its predecessor, moving into a more experimental territory. Field recordings, drone tones and manipulated vocals make up the foundations of the tracks, embellished and expanded on with sparsely employed electronic beats, space, and silence.\u2028\u2028But Still We explores a deeply personal coming of age story, with poised lyricism that shares hints of Arrom\u2019s childhood without diving into a directive narrative; suggestions of power, of lust, obsession, grooming and control. Of childhood wonderment and naivety, of delusion, pain, escape, catharsis, and clarity. \u2028<\/p>\n<p>Released 28 June 2019 on Cassette and Digital.<\/p>\n<p>[dotted1]<\/p>\n<p>[highlight color=&#8221;silver&#8221;]TRACKLISTING[\/highlight]<\/p>\n<p>1.
