Strange Ways: my follow up to my descent into psychdelic dream pop, from a history of ambient instrumental.

a few weeks later, we went back to the whiskey to see another show…

I was born by the Baltic Sea - the music of a Swedish, Thai, trans artist by EtherealAs I was born by the Baltic Sea, (and this is way before I found out that I am a Cancerian), I had always been intrigued by her beauty. As if she’s a rose made of sequins one minute and then a shape-shifting platform of liquid frequencies the next…
