Jubilant art-funk about cocaine addiction — absolutely. Swooning orchestral pop about Jerry Garcia — why not? Rippling electronic noise, jazzy brushed drums, an elderly motorcyclist with dementia, a profoundly emotional bass solo—put them all in one song.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are threadbare folk tunes, glammed-up power-pop bangers, “Sir Duke” horn charts, Morton Feldman string arrangements, layers of guitar feedback like violins made of liquid chrome. Yes, for another artist, \u003cem\u003eLove Aggregates\u003c\/em\u003e might be the most adventurous album in their catalogue. For Asher White, it’s what passes for settling down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite is 25 years old and has been making records — writing, recording, producing, and playing almost everything herself — for over a decade. She’d released two dozen of them on Bandcamp before catching the indie-rock industry’s attention with 2024’s \u003cem\u003eHome Constellation Study\u003c\/em\u003e and last year’s \u003cem\u003e8 Tips for Full Catastrophe Living\u003c\/em\u003e. The latter album’s dizzy eclecticism and formidable craft landed her on Rolling Stone’s Future 25 list with the likes of xaviersobased and Oklou, along with a slew of other accolades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat came as something of a surprise to White, who didn’t craft the chaotic \u003cem\u003e8 Tips\u003c\/em\u003e with a breakthrough in mind. \u003cem\u003eLove Aggregates\u003c\/em\u003e feels like a chance, for one of the most thrilling musical talents of her generation, at a more deliberate introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe wrote and recorded her new album while her previous one was gathering momentum, tinkering in the DIY recording studio where she always works, acutely conscious now that people would be listening to whatever she came up with. At around the same time, her years-long romantic relationship ended in a flurry of betrayal and addiction, her first experience of devastating heartbreak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven so, \u003cem\u003eLove Aggregates\u003c\/em\u003e is not a bitter album about wallowing or seething, but instead making use of those impulses as raw materials in work that transcends the specificity of its origins, fashioning them into something surprising and new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverie for Work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Day at the Casino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory Patient (Motor Cycle Angel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite Castle Sad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNightingale Version (Sailor's Moon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJerryboy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Eagle Is No Omen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealth Techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtoll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStage Diva\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Joyful Noise Recordings ‎","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54446726906202,"sku":"JNR523CD","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1481\/5374\/files\/asher-white-love-aggregates.jpg?v=1784457992","url":"https:\/\/freebirdrecords.com\/products\/asher-white-love-aggregates-cd","provider":"Freebird Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
