First day of release, if you could follow me on spotify /stream then I’d truly appreciate it—

if you ever liked porcelain & the tramps (porcelain black) you’d definitely like this song.

I’ve written quite a long post about it (it broke Instagram’s caption limit - did you know there was one????), but I’m not going to copy & paste as that’s pretty lame. I’ll write a new post soon, but the post is on my Instagram if you want to read The Odyssey lmao

FearOfMu21c Index Page

It never occurred to me before I started that it might be handy to have a place where you could access all the #FearOfMu21c pieces individually. But given how confusing it's been in terms of bringing back posts from last year (which ofc are now incorrectly labelled), i thought it would be a good idea to have everything in one post, where anyone interested can find whatever they might want to look at. So:

Introductory notes

Day one: Lana Del Rey - Mariners Apartment Complex

Day two: MGMT - Flash Delirium

Day three: The Killers - When You Were Young

Day four: Tullycraft - Lost In Light Rotation

Day five: Lady Gaga - Bad Romance (11 pts)

Day six: Deerhunter - Memory Boy

Day seven: Trust Fund/Joanna Gruesome - Split 12" EP

Day eight: Dua Lipa - Don't Start Now

Day nine: The Soundcarriers - Boiling Point

Day ten: Magdalena Bay - Chaeri (11 pts)

Day eleven: Grouper - Holding

Day twelve: Little Mix - Black Magic

Day thirteen: The Mountain Goats - This Year (from Dilaudid EP)

My Original Character 'Nephele' and Her Narrative in My Music

Since beginning my 'Nephele' project earlier this year, I've taken it upon myself as an artist to not only release sonically unique music, but a meaningful, complex story to go along with it. This post will be a deep dive into my thought process while creating the storyline.

Who is 'Nephele'?

Art depicting Greek Goddess 'Nephele' by Francie Klopotic

Nephele is a Greek cloud nymph that among other things, represents duality as well as the dark, mistrustful side of men. She was originally created by Zeus in the image of his wife, Hera, as a test for Ixion, who lusted after Hera. Later on, she was abandoned by her husband for another woman.

She was a woman created by and disposed of by men.

As such, I decided to name my character after her. My Nephele represents the dichotomy between escapism vs. reality in a young woman’s mind, brought on by society’s failure to her and the crushing hardships brought on by living under the patriarchy.

She is a 21 year old stripper and her story takes place around 1987.

She was a rebellious, troubled teenager.

She is running from her feeling of constant misplacement, struggling with the power dynamics between herself and men around her.

She is critical of the imperfect world, and as such, wields a very artistic mind.

She dreams up stories impossible to come true. Stories where she feels loved above all else, stories where she’s the heroin and the world rearranges itself to suit her needs and desires. It’s medicine to her, to numb the pain of reality.

She struggles with self-worth and self-criticism, social anxiety and depression.

Her ultimate goal is to become a star, a famous singer.

Key Inspirations for the Nephele Project

Nephele is a hopeless romantic at heart, but rather than an easy, happy love story, the ones that grip her are the tragic, heart-wrenching ones instead.

Dance of the Damned (1989) is a movie about a rather existential conversation that takes place between a suicidal stripper and an immortal vampire who wants her as his next meal. Through this movie, I was inspired by the themes of power dynamics and the idea that

Romeo and Juliet (1968) is one of my absolute favorite movies. The idea for inspiration here is that Nephele uses this movie as a basis for all of the daydreams she has about love--they are sad, dramatic, and full of passion that defies fate. Such a love is what she craves; to be wanted so badly that destiny itself is ignored in pursuit of her.

The Phantom of the Opera (2004) is another one of my all-time favorites. The inspiration taken from this movie has to do partly in the actual sound of my music as well as the characterization of Nephele's antagonist. Sonically, I really liked the dramatic string bass, the synths, and the organ used in the score for the movie, so I incorporate those elements into the songs for this project. The Phantom himself influneced the character design I created for Nephele's antagonist, a masked man named 'the Music Man', whom I will talk about in another post.

Sound Design of 'NEPHELE: Act I'

'NEPHELE: Act I' is the name of the first album in my Nephele project, which will be coming out on October 13th (a Friday for the extra spooky vibes), 2023.

I have always loved 80s music, and so that was the very foundation for the sound on this album.

In terms of specific musical inspirations, I have a mix of modern & 80s artists such as: a-ha, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Modern Talking, Lana Del Rey, The Neighbourhood, MARINA, and Billie Eilish to name a few.

Artists like The Cure and a-ha have influenced me the most in terms of sound, while Lana Del Rey (I grew up on 2013-2016 Tumblr, so of course she raised me) has inspired the way I write lyrics.

The genres that this project falls under are Synthpop, New Romantic, New Wave, Alt-Pop, Dream Pop, and Darkwave predominantly

You can see these inspirations amalgamate yourself in some of the songs I have pre-released for this album here:

'DANCE of the DAMNED' is my most recent release, and it's the fifth full song off of the upcoming 'NEPHELE: Act I' album.

I'll explain in a future post what this song in particular is about!

My Hopes for Nephele

As an artist, part of the thrill is putting your work out there for everyone to perceive. It's a scary thing to do, because your creation isn't just your own as soon as it's out in the world, and it isn't up to you how others receive it. While this admittedly intimidates me, I also find it cool. You can relate to my music and art in ways that I didn't necessarily intend, but that fit you better.

With that being said, my intentions for Nephele are that she represents a desire for something more, something better, the deep-seeded need to be loved, and the sensation of missing something unidentifiable inside.

She is a comfort character and a voice for any woman who feels incomplete, who is dissatisfied with life and who dreams of being more and being strong, who feels the weight of the world on her shoulders and want to make it a better place but feels powerless to do so.

She is a representation of the journey of self-discovery and a journey of self-mastery.

She creates a space for maladaptive, daydreaming women

She opens the conversation for why we feel the need to self-soothe through fantastical creations of art and stories.

She is a voice for the quiet girl/woman with an overactive-imagination.

If you made it to the end of this post, I thank you sincerely for caring enough to read through it all! I hope it resonated with you in some way, and that if you do decide to check my music out, it does the same!

One of the cool things about putting out a new track is discovering the work of other artists while checking the blogs and playlists that have featured my work. It’s been a while since I took such a deep dive into up-to-the-minute new music, and I’m excited to report back that it’s renewed my faith in contemporary production!! People (myself included) often complain about how hard it is to find new stuff to listen to, especially with big services like Spotify favoring “classic” tracks with their algorithm.

I made a playlist featuring my favorite new discoveries - if you’re looking for new things to listen to, maybe you want to check it out and give it a follow… I plan to update it every couple of weeks - and I have some new stuff of my own coming out soon that I’ll be adding on too so give the playlist a like/follow and keep checking back!

Shout out to the playlist artists, some of whom I know and many of whom I don’t

Hi!! I haven’t shared this on tumblr at all yet so I thought I would.

I’m a disabled, autistic singer/songwriter and I make music from my bedroom. This is my most recent song, which is all about growing up autistic, especially my experiences with the mental health system. The artwork is art I drew as a kid! It’s a song about accepting myself as autistic and it’s super important to me. I hope other neurodivergent and disabled folk like it!!!

FearOfMu21c #23

Self Esteem - You Forever

youtube

Released - Oct 20 2021

Did not chart

Spotify streams to date - 3,081,399

I like Self Esteem more as an idea sometimes rather than an artist that I always want to listen to. So much of Rebecca Taylor’s songwriting is caught up in personal score settling and sometimes it just feels too much like hard work; however, I can appreciate the perspective that it comes from and her sharp tongued humour will often make me crack a smile so there’s plenty to draw me back in too. Still, I think her best songs tend to have a more complex emotional balance and that’s part of what I love about You Forever

As is so often the case, Taylor is basically having a pop at an ex-boyfriend, but the difference between this and some of her better known singles is that she hasn’t completely given up on this guy, and so there’s a tension between her vitriol and the desire to make things work. The best lines reflect this mixture of pride and vulnerability: the tone with which she sings “don’t mention her, don’t bring her up again” has a terrific hostility to it, while her well judged clapback “’That’s decisive. Do you like that?” is the perfect bitter rerun of an argument long since worn into the ground.

Musically, it’s a thumping modern disco tune, the tone more reflective than celebratory but still thrillingly bold, with it’s extremely catchy “you need to be braver!” hook both powering the song and embodying its defiant spirit. The remixed Pop-Off version adds an extra energy that made it a little more ear-catching on the radio but I think the original captures its moods better; with all those swells of emotion, hurt and conciliation, You Forever manages to evoke something that’s both exciting and genuinely moving.
