I prefer Sonic 3 and Knuckles personally.

I do not understand what people here in this woman’s music that is so great? I get a very cold, feelingless landscape, and her music and production and her new album that she produced for Devendra.

[@WeraroaWizard]

the world is a dark place, especially at the moment… this music portrays that in a very dissociative & psychedelic way to me which i can relate to
