January 30 brings the release of a track with a controversial message presented through a unique perspective.
Xylo Aria transports the listener into the mind of a pig and describes its story and emotions as it stands in the production line of an industrial meat farm.
Whether the message resonates with or against you, the track undoubtedly provides food for thought while being packaged within a beautiful listening experience. As her first self produced release, Pig quickly encapsulates her signature minimalist and at times experimental production style.
The heartbeat of the kick drum provides a bed over which the smooth and almost entrancing synths lay.
Aria's harshly treated vocals cut through this foundation to provide a stunning contrast, this coupled with Grammy nominated Andei Eremin’s mastering makes for an alluring and polished track.
Pig is the first instalment of Aria’s year long project highlighting pressing social and environmental issues with the aim of holding a mirror to society and aiding to enact social change.
