Show Me How You Disappear (Clear Blue)

Description

Mesmeric and kaleidoscopic, shimmering with electrified unease,Show Me How You Disappearis both an exercise in self-forgiveness and an eventual understanding of unresolved trauma.Jilian Medford’sthird record asIan Sweetunfolds at an acute juncture in her life, charting from a mental health crisis to an intensive healing process and what comes after. How do you control the thoughts that control you? What does it mean to get better? What does it mean to have a relationship with yourself?

Recorded withAndrew Sarlo(Big Thief, Empress Of) andAndy Seltzer(Maggie Rogers), among others, Medford approached this album as a curator. She handpicked the producers that fit each song, which explains the range and experimentation showcased. Medford then recruitedChris Coadyto mix and tie everything together into one cohesive piece. Dizzying and enthralling,Show Me How You Disappearis the sound of someone coming apart and putting themselves back together the moment an old mantra, repeated into the mirror time and time again, finally clicks. To look at your reflection, and finally feel seen.
