Here is a song from Midori Jaeger. It’s from the forthcoming EP. We like it. Read some blurb and give it a listen. We have also added the track ‘Exasperate’ so you don’t have to go too far to check Midori Jaeger a little more. You’re welcome.
London-based cellist, singer and songwriter midori jaeger (pronounced MID-uh-ree YAY-ger) has shared a new single from her forthcoming EP ‘(Un)planted’, which is set for release on March 9th. The third single from the release, “exterior” is online now and comes alongside news of a London live date at St Pancras Old Church on April 22nd.
The delicately pizzicato prickles of “exterior” echo the quiet discomfort of mixed identity. “I wrote this song when I was covered in mosquito bites!” she comments. “Insect bites on the skin inspired me to explore other itches and niggles she felt within myself and my identity.”
The lyric ‘vague sense of irritation nestles under your exterior’ sums up a desire to connect with her heritage, to use the Japanese language she had within her but that felt out of touch, to inhabit fully her sexuality, and to understand what having a mixed identity means. When fragments of your identity are locked in memories from childhood spent in a different culture, how do we live in that identity as an adult?
