Indigo De Souza has released a surprise three-song EP, marking her Vacation Vista debut. It’s called Wholesome Evil Fantasyand its tracks are appropriately titled “Wholesome,” “Evil,” and “Fantasy.” Listen to it below.
“These songs come from the spiciest, most goofy, glitter gloss place in my psyche. I wasn’t really thinking very hard when I wrote them. I was just having so much fun.” De Souza said of Wholesome Evil Fantasy EP in press materials. She continued:
I am continuously inspired by the sounds and energy brought by my collaborators, Elliott Kozel and Jesse Schuster. They are always making me laugh and bringing out the silliest version of me. I would not have discovered this new space without them. Listening to these songs fills me with gratitude for the playful musical connection we have, as well as everlasting friendship. My baseline existence can be pretty heavy and complicated, but these songs made me deeply joyous the whole time I was working on them.
De Souza is throwing two dance parties to celebrate the new EP. The first will occur in Los Angeles, on October 3, with the other taking place in De Souza’s hometown of Asheville, North Carolina, on October 8. The Los Angeles party will feature DJ sets by Harmony, Succubus, and Azure.fm, while WiFi Mommy, Boys_Camp, and Oragami will man the decks in Asheville. De Souza will host both events.
De Souza’s latest full-length, All of This Will End, arrived last year. Revisit Pitchfork’s 2021 Rising interview “Indigo De Souza’s Ultimate Indie Rock Glow Up.”
