Unadulterated emotional connection is paramount in the tracks on Los Angeles singer-songwriter Akira Galaxy's debut EP, What's Inside You. Nothing appears to be in doubt during their passionate vortexes, and perfect mutual understanding is achievable. But eventually, trying times highlight more profound realities and reveal the ways in which the narrators have been duped. Akira incorporates bittersweet or acidic asides into her soulful and atmospheric alternative pop songs, which explore the feeling of being lost in these kinds of states.
The EP, which is joyful yet emotionally brusque, direct and catchy but sophisticated, presents an artist who is ready to explore new avenues and who already has a strong songwriting style.
The singer, real name Akira Galaxy Ament, learned her craft as a musician fronting high school bands in Seattle. Her family had exposed her to a wide variety of music since she was a small child. She often withdraws to her hometown to write alt-rock, and in her lyrics and live performances, she blends that gritty, attitude with a sleeker, more transatlantic style. With assistance from producers Sam Westhoff and Chris Coady (Beach House, TV On the Radio, The Kills), the EP's songs combine rock 'n' roll edge with synth sounds evocative of '80s dream pop. Akira's sultry vocals evoke an atmosphere of intimacy and otherworldliness simultaneously, reflecting the points in her compositions where the imagined and the actual merge and become irreconcilable..
