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":"Vinyl.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43123475906635,"sku":"796441824014","price":52.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7223\/1499\/files\/4258439-3050941_d05cfd9a-a188-44ef-b857-2081514e8cba.jpg?v=1788381850","url":"https:\/\/rockbandmerch.com\/products\/niecy-blues-exit-simulation","provider":"Rock Band Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
