Sasami shares new track “Mess”
In March 2019, Los Angeles songwriter and multi-instrumentalist SASAMI released her self-titled debut album. Its ten tautly melodic rock tracks originated as a string of demos recorded straight to her iPad while on tour, and described the surprising ways that one's relationships—with lovers, with friends, with oneself—can shift in a single year.
SASAMI earned acclaim from critics: “a powerful first effort” according to Pitchfork; “one of the best debut rock albums of the past few years...incessantly replayable” via FLOOD; “impressive: finely crafted and introspective” per NPR.
Since then, SASAMI has toured internationally, released a Christmas 3-track single titled lil drmr bb, and curated an issue of the coffee zine Yes Plz.
Today, a full year since the release of her debut, SASAMI shares a new track, “Mess”.

On “Mess”, SASAMI said, “I started making my self-titled album almost three years ago. Since then I’ve fucked other people, healed bad relationships, broken new good ones, found more joy, more anger and everything in between. Mess is where I’m at now. I wanted to end the year of my first album campaign with one last sentence before I crack into the stone slab of my next album. This time I didn’t want to provide any visual counterparts. I just want people to listen.”
