Alexia Avina

We don’t use the word “luster” enough.

We’ve pretty much relegated it to the shimmer of a pearl. But, from the album cover to the final track, Alexia Avina’s A Little Older, does shine with the luster of a pearl; beautiful, transfixing and harkening to nature.

The ever traveling musician has crafted one of the most propulsive ambient releases in recent memory, deftly combining indie-rock hooks with glitchy production and deep wells of mediative synths. Her crystal clear voice flips from a strident narrative focus to flittering choirs of harmonies on a dime. A Little Older, at its best, feels like sinking into a warm sea. We chatted with Avina below.
