Sasami (stylized in all caps) is the eponymous debut studio album by American singer-songwriter and musician Sasami, set to be released on March 8, 2019, through Domino.[1]
Background and release
On April 3, 2018, Sasami shared her first solo track "Callous" on SoundCloud.[2] On October 9, Domino Recording Company announced that Sasami had signed to their label, and officially released "Callous" alongside a new song titled "Not the Time", premiered by The Fader.[3] The songs were released on a 7" vinyl on October 26.[4] On January 9, Sasami released the third single, "Jealousy", alongside an announcement of the album and a pre-order.[5]
Writing and recording
Sasami wrote the album while touring with Cherry Glazerr and recorded the songs shortly afterwards direct to tape. It was recorded in Studio 22, Los Angeles with Thomas Dolas and her brother JooJoo Ashworth.[6][7] After the release of the first two singles, "Not the Time" and "Callous", Sasami stated, "I wrote both of these songs on tour on a guitar on my iPad with GarageBand plugins and Moog 15 app sounds and then re-recorded them in the studio onto tape with really great tones. So it's kind of like emotionally scribbling a letter on a tear and snot-stained napkin and then re-writing it on fancy papyrus paper to make it look like you have your shit together."[3]
