Too North by jenno snyder
Too North is a careful step outside her bedroom. It is a series of bad haircuts. It's fist-clenching exercises. It's a butterfly stitch. It's stuck on a chain email. It's smothered, covered, and peppered. And it's listening to you too.
For my twin, Elle.
"It almost seemed to zero in on my panic disorder, my insecurities, the unshakable memories of horrific mistakes I have made and my worst fears..."

"‘Blue Light’ is a slice of swirling instrumental drone pop, a song so rich and textured it feels like it’s own microclimate."
