The Dweller
by No Artist

Cs

Dweller was recorded while living in a perpetually flooding basement where the artist was recovering from facial feminization surgery. She captures the horrors of domesticity and the compelling inertia of bed rotting.

Her tools are kitchen appliances, the ambient sounds of houses, radio signals, a dismembered piano in the woods, mutated iron on an urban shore, eggs.

The album is heavily influenced by her experiences with early childhood psychosis which coincided with watching her grandmother who helped take care of her, degenerate with Parkinson’s Disease. Also, navigating her mother’s inconsistent states from bi polar disorder and the complexities of being the latest in a line of women brought up by women who are trying their hardest to caretake while falling apart.

Her themes are her own diagnosed schizophrenia, religious trauma, a grandfather with religious psychosis who thought he was a prophet sent from god, festering depression, layers of dead skin and hair, possessed houses, moving multiple times because the house was trying to kill her, slowly rotting into furniture, the feeling of crawling out of one’s skin brought on by antipsychotics and gender dysphoria, akathisia, and the blurred lines of being a friend, a lover, a family member and a mental health patient.
