Another Life - CD
CD copy of Another Life Instant digital download of the album upon purchase Roan Yellowthorn’s Jackie McLean wrote much of the New York indie-pop duo’s new album, Another Life, as a reflection on a childhood marked by frequent mental and emotional abuse that led to debilitating OCD by age 7 and an eating disorder at 13. Abuse that continued into young adulthood, often causing her to question her own reality and sense of self-worth. “When you're subjected to mental and emotional abuse, just hearing that person's name can make your heart pound and body start sweating,” explains McLean. “Psychological warfare. Mind games. Coercive control. Harassment. These elements of fear-based control can make you feel like you have no freedom and like your life is not your own.” Throughout the forthcoming 11-song set, McLean channels her healing process and the rebuilding of her individual identity through laid-back '80s era synths and airy, often bright, dream-pop sounds. With production by John A
