“Composed between 2017 and 2020, sou layers loops of lush guitar and percussion with Castro’s introspective lyrics and a variety of synths, both analog and digital. Drawing inspiration from the Brazilian music of her childhood, as well as electronic and dance music, Castro sings in both Portuguese and English to chronicle the spaces between self and other, past and present, and the real and imaginary. The result is a bricolage of pine trees, tropical plants, and weeds bursting through concrete; a collage of the mountains of Minas Gerais, the view outside Castro’s bedroom window in Ridgewood, Queens, and the forests of Haukijärvi, Finland, where many of the lyrics were written during a residency in 2019.” - Alexandra Wuest
