Artist: DAINE

Who: 23-year-old artist, vegan since the age of 13, from down under,
who uses they/them pronouns. They suffer from POTS, EDS, and autism.

Album: IN ENDLESS AWE & AGONY.
Their debut. Sounds like a modern-day
Britney Spears to my ears.

NME: “Daine reintroduces themself sans-autotune, cynical yet poptimistic while on a complete sugar high from being chewed up and spat out. Confessing the neuroses of stardom, they cash in on today’s most lucrative pop culture currency: bearing all. Cynical yet poptimistic while on a complete sugar high from being chewed up and spat out.”

ARTWORK

I know it sounds silly, but the first thing that popped up in my mind when
seeing this cover was ‘Silence of the Lambs‘, the title of the 1991 psych-horror
classic movie with Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins.
