Home Constellation Study LP Out June 28th On Ba Da Bing & Feeding Tube, First Single “Downstate Prairie” Out Now.
On Asher White’s newest album, she invites you to step into her creation of a volatile, summertime musical odyssey.
Since her first record was made at fourteen years old (now 23), Asher has honed her songwriting, creating seas of melodies from her warehouse studio full of junkyard instruments. Home Constellation Study is a vibrant explosion of creativity, detonating the fussy chamber pop of last year’s predecessor, New Excellent Woman. These new compositions embrace transcendent horn sections, pulsating basslines, and intricate orchestral loops. White sings tales of bad dreams, the excitement of mobility, and the comfort of settling down, all while savoring the sweetness of sour straws and the optimism of newfound love. Her music is simultaneously witty and deeply hopeful, blending wit and honesty with inventive sincerity.
“Downstate Prairie”, the first single from Asher White's upcoming album, Home Constellation Study, is being co-released in a special collaboration between Ba Da Bing and Feeding Tube. Opening with combustive, Swans-caliber heaviness, the song adds another piece to her elaborate, experimental folk diorama. “Downstate Prairie” questions the social geopolitics of the Midwest, using skittering drums and untamed guitar noise to color Asher’s composition.
