“first_sounds is a multi-genre album that tells the story of a sentient, singing android girl, whose purpose was to reunite humanity across a fractured world. After coming across an old message, a single boy discovered her and escorted her on her journey. The songs in this album tell the experiences and feelings that she felt along the way.

first_sounds is also my first large project. The ultimate goal was to have an album with creative freedom, but I also wanted it to have a little bit of a story. The project as a whole is heavily influenced by Porter Robinson and Sasakure. UK, who both used their albums to tell stories. However, each song draws from a different artist that has influenced me in some way. I wanted it to have a little bit of everything for everyone, and the aim is that everyone who listens to this album has a different favorite song. While I normally choose abstract language, the lyrics used in first_sounds are more direct, but each track conveys a different emotion and a different part of the story. The album is meant to be heard in order, but I made it so that it could still work if it was played in shuffle.” - xtraspicy
