07In her words

Two statements, quoted verbatim.

“To be in the dark, wanting the light. To learn how to give without demanding anything in return. Wanting to challenge the world, and yourself. But really, I probably just want the record to feel like something you’ve dug up from the dark ground.”

Mariam the Believer, on Blood Donation — Bandcamp (opens in a new tab)⁠11

“Music is a sacred place where all dimensions of me can exist simultaneously. I have a will not to be reduced but to be set free.”

Mariam Wallentin, on releasing Love Everything — Repeat Until Death (opens in a new tab)⁠9
