LIST PICK
AGA UJMA HOUSE OF SILVER
Experimental-folk artist and real-life angel Aga Ujma graciously blesses us with a breathtaking new single in 'house of silver'. Arriving alongside the excellent news of a forthcoming sophomore EP, due November 8th via the ever-reliable Slow Dance, "'house of silver' is about people who take advantage of you, and about the horrible feeling of being looked down on. Metaphorical glimmering houses of gold and silver are fortresses that people build around themselves to appear cooler than you, smarter than you, stronger than you, always too busy to hang out. Their houses are shiny as hell but there is usually not that much inside them." Sonically glittering with serene harp work and strings that'll stop you in your tracks, Ujma's inimitable vocal still steal the show, cutting celestially through one of the most beautiful compositions we've encountered in a very long time. In spite of struggles that inspired this stunning single, we've identified a whiff of irony, as from where we're standing, things are clearly looking up for Aga Ujma. -Holly Mullineaux
