atongue[ by Luscho
atongue[ is an album that plays with fragmentation, degredation, memory, distance, love, and dementia. It came out of the years I spent taking care of my grandmother, re-translated through the lens of Anne Carson's brilliantly spacious translations of Sappho.
I made this album in Utah, Missouri, and Madrid.
For Jane.
