Single Of The Week: “She” by Avataria

Philly’s Avataria is back with a heavy Heart meets St Vincent track called “She.” The nearly industrial, cinematic build-up takes you into a vocal performance that’s simultaneously fragile, confident, angry, and exasperated. How is that possible? Just give it a listen. 

“She” is the first video off Avataria’s first full-length album, Let Go, which has entered our sphere of consciousness TODAY! Streaming info here, but if you are like me and prefer the physical world to the digital, you can purchase the record on wax here! Oh- and she makes custom guitar pedals! 

Single Of The Week: Something by Avataria

Avataria is the alias of Niki Avataria, a musician from Philadelphia, PA. She’s been putting out excellent singles for a number of years now, but she’s been on a roll lately with fine EPs. “Something” is the first single off her forthcoming EP, Inside Out, due out June 5th. This is an anxious number that helps encapsulate that feeling of wanting all of this to be over and for us to make it through the chaos of today safe and sound. Is that the writer’s intent? I have no idea, but this song feels like a warm hug that both say, “I totally get what you are going through, and I want the same. And, you know what? I think we are actually going to be fine. It’s just tough right now, and it’s really hard to stay patient.” 

Inside Out can be preordered through Bandcamp, or if you are more of the “streaming” type, you can get your resave situated right here.
