Taken from her upcoming album How Did I Wind Up Here?, out October 17th via Koke Plate, Jouska recently unveiled the time stopping new single Season of Dread. The delicate track tackles the feeling of being stuck in a never ending cycle, where sometimes life feels like it's closing in on you, beautifully depicted by its expansive guitar melodies and atmospheric vocals. Thorvik says about the track, "I wrote this song when everything felt heavy. It was like being stuck inside a winter that wouldn’t end, a season of dread, both emotionally and physically. I was moving through the days with a constant sense of unease, trying to hold it together but always on the edge of unravelling.There was a constant pit in my stomach. I felt uncomfortable in my own body, in my surroundings, and in the choices I was making. My mind was loud and flooded, and I couldn’t find a way out of it. Things were shifting in my life. Something I’d always trusted without question suddenly felt unfamiliar, and that made it hard to feel steady or safe in anything.This song came out of that place, a time when I felt completely out of sync with the world, like winter had stretched on endlessly and no one else seemed to notice." Take a listen below.
