"I'm trying to document emotions, more than specifc events and memories - I mean that's what my music is at the end of the day - I'm just documenting"

This is Lucy Liyou, the Philadelphia- based experimental musician behind cinematic sister LPs Welfare and Practice. Working in their Korean- American lineage and pulling from childhood memories, Liyou takes inspiration from Pansori (Korean Folk Opera), a style of Korean musical storytelling; and Korean drama soundtracks. Collaging text-to-speech (TTS) with their own voice, personal feld recordings, audio samples from memes, Tumblr, and YouTube videos, synthesizers, and lush acoustic piano, Liyou creates their own distinct narrative.

Tracks: I'm Going to Therapy / Unnie / Who You Feed / Some Form of Kindness / You are every memory / Uncle / At the dinner table / Easiest / How to build an automaton / Patron / Hail mary / September 5
