Okay Kaya Watch This Liquid Pour Itself - Coke Bottle Clear Vinyl

Kaya’s Jagjaguwar debut, Watch This Liquid Pour Itself  , due on 24 January 2020, is filled with images of pools of sweat, oceans, and other forms of wetness. On her first single, “Ascend and Try Again,” actual instructions for how to survive an anxiety attack underwater are repurposed into lyrics. In “Popcorn Heart,” her heart becomes a place where ducklings can swim. But the water in Okay Kaya’s world is not one of renewal and rebirth—it’s perhaps not water at all, actually; “It’s more like bile,” Kaya says, “It’s what comes out in the purge.” In these images, Kaya swims through her melancholy and anxiety—not as a way of cleansing herself, but as a channel for reaching their true depths.  

Throughout the fifteen songs on Watch This Liquid Pour Itself, Okay Kaya listens, responds, and takes a deep breath before she dives in.
