Yeah that HAAi album was great, only caught a little of her set at Primavera. Hoping for a show here soon I didn’t make it over to her set at Primavera, but I saw her set early in the day at the underground stage at Movement and really enjoyed it. Still I was pretty surprised how much I like the album. It also definitely benefited from me being a month late |

Post by claypoolfan on Jul 1, 2022 9:03:19 GMT -6
Everyone I know who went to Movement couldn't stop talking about HAAi and I've heard her name getting mentioned more and more every day since then I feel like.

Added lil descriptions. I like this album a lot and Keeled Scales is quickly becoming one of my favorite labels. Buck Meek, Katy Kirby, Tenci, Good Looks, etc. |
