Steven Moses A surprising, genre-smashing set of songs that showcase De Souza's ability to sing the hell out of everything from synthpop to indie noise rock. Favorite track: Pretty Pictures.

coitosk Truly, I find it impossible to pick a favorite song from this album. It is one of my new all-time favorites. The progression of each song is unpredictable in a way that begets sweetness again and again. One of my favorite parts of each listen remains the range of sounds De Souza's voice reaches toward--I feel this play between strain and restraint, exploration and familiarity in how this artist explores their voice. I adore everything here. Thank you for this album! Favorite track: Hold U.

You were darker than death When I spoke to you last You were darker than death When I spoke to you last Was it something I said Was it something I did Was it something I said to you darling I’m sorry I never meant to Stay out so late I got carried away Was it something I said You left me crushed Were you losing your head Over something that you lost And did you feel it too When we both went blind You wouldn’t even look me in — oh darling You wouldn’t look me in the eyes Was it something I said Was it something I said Was it something that I said Was it something that I said

Die/Cry 02:26
Do you want me to come by I could be there in a day or two Do you want me to stop in And tell you you’re alright And tell you you’re just fine I’d rather die than see you cry Than see you cry, than see you cry I’d rather die than see you cry Than see you cry, than see you cry Do you see me when you’re sleeping Do you even shut your eyes at night I’m nothing like I was I’m nothing like the girl you loved I haven’t seen her in months And I’d rather die than see you cry Than see you cry, than see you cry I’d rather die than see you cry Than see you cry, than see you cry I’d rather die before you die Before you die, before you die I’d rather die before you die Before you die, before you die I wanna die before you die Before you die, before you die I wanna die before you die Before you die, before you die

Pretty pictures on a screen, when I’m with you It’s like a dream I promise you I’ll always grow with you And If my promise ever slips just trust I’ll have the heart to quit I know when I am better off a friend It’s not what we wanted, but it’s just what we get Breaking up and getting back together Breaking up with someone you love Cause you know it’s gonna be for the better But it’s so hard to give it up I just can’t lie to myself, when I’m with you I’m somewhere else It doesn’t feel like things will get better And you’re the best one that I know, I’m stupid if I let you go But you deserve to get what you’ve been giving It’s not what I wanted, but it’s what’s true to me Breaking up and getting back together Breaking up with someone you love Cause you know it’s gonna be for the better But it’s so hard to give it up Breaking up and getting back together Breaking up with someone you love Cause you know it’s gonna be for the better But it’s so hard to give it up But it’s so hard to give it up

Real Pain 04:50
When pain is real, you cannot run You can cover, but come undone And love might go, but is not gone I still know you, I still know you When love is real, you cannot sit You can cover, but never quit And carry on, as you were I still feel you, I still feel you I don’t believe the things I’ve done I don’t believe the weight I’ve been Going Going Going Going (repeated) I wanna kick wanna scream, I wanna know it’s not my fault I wanna know it’s not my fault, I didn’t mean it I wanna kick wanna scream, I wanna know it’s not my fault I wanna know it’s not my fault, I didn’t mean it

Bad Dream 04:51
I had a bad dream, I called you at 3am And you were there on the other side the others left I don’t think I’m ready for a clean cut kind of love But I don’t think I have a choice, I’m already gone Please send help to me Please send help to me god Girls are fighting I’m having a hard time sleeping Girls are fighting, I’m having a hard time Dogs are barking I’m having a hard time sleeping Things are changing I’m having a hard time Please send help to me Please send help to me god

Late night crawler Harsh high baller Better than— your very best Something smaller Than the others Looks can’t argue with the rest Maybe I’m the one you’ve been missing Don’t look to me when you feel like moving It’s not standing I’m after Well sometimes it looks that way Maybe we’re bigger than staying on the very same island Maybe we’re bigger than staying in the very same place Red rum running Tubes are stinging And I’m not fit to be in a crowd Fleeting lover Grocery goer Yeah we’re going but we’re still homecoming Creepy lights are burying you And we are sure to spit right in the face of morning Don’t look to me when you feel like moving It’s not standing I’m after Well sometimes it looks that way Maybe we’re bigger than staying on the very same island Maybe we’re bigger than staying in the very same place Maybe I’m the one you've been missing I won’t be cruel when you find That you don’t need a girl to feel better You can ask yourself what’s on your mind

Hold U 04:16

Way Out 04:01
I’m looking for a way out a way out a way out There’re to many ghosts in here I see you in colors, in reds and in oranges But you can’t color me in fear Because there’s nothing in the dark You only see it in your head There’s nothing in the dark There are no monsters underneath your bed And I’ll never be the only thing you love I’ll never be the only thing you love I’m looking for a way out a way out a way out I don’t wanna feel like this I see you in colors and I want to be better but I don’t get no light in here and— If you want to change, if you want to change I’ll be here to love you I’ll be here to hold you through the pain If you want to change, if you want to change I’ll be here to love you No matter what shape you might take I’ll love you anyway I’ll love you anyway I wanna be a I wanna be a light (Repeated)

Kill Me 04:20
Kill me slowly, take me with you Down to the garden where magnolias bloom Baby darling devil, I love you I love you, I love you -- kill me in the morning Call your mother, tell her you love her Call my mother and tell her the same You write good things, I clean up When the party is over, you're plastered I’m fine And I know you’ll follow I know that you’ll follow Kill me, kill me No one asked me to feel this fucked up, but here I am fucked up Dirty the dishes, stack them higher We’re not gonna wash them, we’ll thrown them away Kill me slowly, outside that diner that we liked to go to when things were okay And know you’ll follow I know that you’ll follow I know you’ll follow I know I know No one’s hearing what I’m saying You are, but you are so far away Fuck me till my brains start dripping Down to the second floor in our home Kill me and clean up, and if they ask you Where I am, well tell them that I was all done Tell them that I wasn’t having much fun Tell them that I wasn’t having much fun (repeated)

about

“Everything has to be said.” This is the conviction guiding Indigo De Souza’s sophomore album, Any Shape You Take. This dynamic record successfully creates a container for the full spectrum—pushing through and against every emotion: “I wanted this album to give a feeling of shifting with and embracing change. These songs came from a turbulent time when I was coming to self-love through many existential crises and shifts in perspective.”

Faithful to its name, Any Shape You Take changes form to match the tenor of each story it tells. “The album title is a nod to the many shapes I take musically. I don’t feel that I fully embody any particular genre—all of the music just comes from the universe that is my ever-shifting brain/heart/world,” says Indigo. This sonic range is unified by Indigo’s strikingly confessional and effortless approach to songwriting, a signature first introduced in her debut, self-released LP, I Love My Mom. Written in quick succession, Indigo sees these two records as companion pieces, both distinct but in communion with each other: “Many of the songs on these two records came from the same season in my life and a certain version of myself which I feel much further from now.

“I feel very much like a shape-shifter with my music, I’m always trying to embody a balance between the existential weight and the overflowing sense of love I feel in the world.” It is exactly this balance that Indigo strikes in her Saddle Creek debut, Any Shape You Take. A listening experience that gives back, as you shed and shape-shift along with her.
