Aging At Airports with Jennifer Touch

"Aging at Airports" plays with the ambiguity and ambivalence of being true to ourselves. Those true and honest emotions are the theme of the record. The vocals and lyrics channel those emotions within the artificial surroundings of synths, digital sounds, and clean mixing. This theme is quite dramatic, but Touch maintains a sense of playfulness. The record doesn’t attempt to be too serious and super dark, but still comes from that deep place of Touch’s soul that has to handle this stretch.

It felt like I wasted a large part of my life waiting for the next show to come, to entertain and perform my music, and build timeless moments with others. This waiting, the slowly ticking time at the gate, was in complete contrast to what I want to do as an artist: to be in flux, to create things that will last forever. The airport, as a busy hub, was like a symbol of this ambivalence. And a reminder: every second, whether waiting or on the move, I have to accept that I am fading, that my creative power, my face, and my body are fading. As a (performing) artist, everything feels like a strange contrast. While you want to stay true to yourself and speak authentically from the soul, you are also expected to appear forever young, and powerful. Artists are often wanted to distract people, but creating this art forces me to confront my own transience. I feel the struggle to fit into this powerful artificial framework that the world has set and the desire to break free from it.
Jennifer Touch

From the opening track, the album is a synth showcase that fully embraces Jennifer’s range as a vocalist and composer. "Aging at Airports" takes listeners through a drifting emotional journey through EBM-inspired tracks (Behavior and Ceiling), drone pop (Walls of Patience and Anthem), and minimal beats (Dripping and Wars & Blood Red Roses) to close out with a track made for the darkest dance floors (Rumble (Defiance)).

Jennifer Touch has previously released two studio albums and been interviewed and reviewed by Metal Mag, MOJO, Uncut, Future Music, and DJ Mag. She has collaborated with Curses and Paranoid London and was part of the Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX compilation, alongside Boy Harsher, The KVB, and Buzz Kull.
