Music Friyay: Kelsey Lu, EERA, Ajna

By Joanna C. Valente

Here’s some music, new and old, you should listen to and check out:

Kelsey Lu - “I’m Not In Love”

Lu’s cover of “I’m Not In Love” is dreamy and melancholic, a definite summer favorite.

EERA - Reflection of Youth

EERA’s 2017 album is raw, vulnerable, and an angry meditation on survival in the modern world. My favorite: “Christine.”

Ajna - Further Intrusion

Ajna, a Long Island-based ambient musician, released an EP this year that is both spooky, creepy, and delicate.
