Mentioned in Dispatches: Nostalgic Escapism – Saasz

Sitting at a point where lo-fi, bedroom pop drifts off into more dream state forms, where ambient pop turns into hushed indie soundscaping, and where the worlds of mainstream music and cinematic soundtracks collide, you find Saasz and her latest release, Nostalgic Escapism.

It is the music of the lucid dream, hazy and half-heard, the lyrics deliberately laying deep below the surface of the music, more an instrument in their own right than a direct means of communication. Music that evokes rather than merely entertains, recalls memory rather than follows strict melody.
