‘345’ is the new single from experimental folk artist aga ujma. It’s a haunting, surreal track that combines a child-like toybox sound with the tender playing of Indonesian instruments and an airy, warped vocal delivery. The track’s soft timbre is occasionally replaced by moments of intensity and noise, with clattering cymbals, distorted sound and screams entering the forefront of its unpredictable sonic landscape briefly. She explains that the track was written “while falling in and out of sleep, and it is not certain which parts of it are a dream and which are reality. The Lyrics are confessing feelings about a crush so intense that you are in physical pain, weaving in a Polish counting-out game that I sing while doing my invoices and references to my favourite sci-fi movies that I was watching at the time.” The video that accompanies the track is equally surreal, with dreamy visuals presented through a nostalgic palette of colours. Her new EP, also called 345, is due for release on November 15th via Slow Dance Records. -Dan Peeke
