Amanitas

abigailpixler5452

Toxically Alluring Pop CHILE | DREAM POP When a band names themselves after something deadly, that often translates over to their music and Amanitas is no exception. However, their poison is gentle and slow acting, pulling you in seductively, little by little. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines Amanita as the following: Amanita – am·a·ni·ta ˌa-mə-ˈnī-tə, -ˈnē- noun | any of a genus (Amanita) of white-spored basidiomycetous fungi that typically have a volva and an annulus about the stipe and include some deadly poisonous forms Sure, there are all-girl bands out there, yes, but this one has an uncanny allure to it. With … Continue reading Amanitas

In Memoriam

abigailpixler5452

Death. Such a short word for something so impacting. This was my Grandma – one of the most beautiful, tender and purest souls I have ever known. She was a few weeks away from her 87th birthday. I have gone 30 years without ever experiencing the death of a loved one. When my grandma passed away recently, it left me to try and find a way to process through my feelings, fumbling for words and thoughts and even prayers at moments. The power of music has been beyond helpful with the numbness, the hurt and the angry feelings; the full … Continue reading In Memoriam
