The title is taken from a science fiction novel she read during the purgatory of the pandemic, alluding to a dimensional ideation of departure-\"\"the permission to imagine leaving.\"\" Recorded in her current home of Charleston, she characterizes the album's mood in terms both reflective and raw: an exploration of things suppressed, foundations beginning to crack, \"\"talking myself off a ledge.\"\" The music of Niecy Blues transposes reverie and reckoning into emotive devotionals of keys, guitar, bass, synth, and bewitched voice, steeped in sacred atmospheres gleaned from a youth spent in a religious Oklahoma household: \"\"My first experience with ambient music was church-slow songs of worship, with delay on the guitar... even if you don't believe, you feel something.\"\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51598394097959,"sku":"796441824021","price":22.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/4258440-3050942.jpg?v=1783445243","url":"https:\/\/www.corkyscoffee.com\/products\/niecy-blues-exit-simulation-cd","provider":"Corkys Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
