Download of the Week: Lucinda Chua | YIAN

“We must listen to poets.” Gaston Bachelard

From 4AD:

YIAN (燕), means swallow in Chinese, and is part of “Siew Yian,” the name given to Chua by her parents to preserve her connection with her Chinese heritage.

YIAN is London-based musician and composer Lucinda Chua’s largely self-produced debut album that shimmers like a delicate wisp of a whisper.

“The intimacy of the record comes down to the empathy within the listener.”  Lucinda Chua
