NEWEST RELEASE
Listen Anywhere.
Initially drawn to lyricists like Dolly Parton, Phoebe Bridgers, Soccer Mommy and Taylor Swift, Aslin’s soft approach to a country aesthetic on her third studio project Inflight makes for a wistful, traditional, folk project.
Aslin plays to her songwriting strengths beginning the EP with single “little white pills” — a haunting, steel pedal driven narrative about the rippling effects of the American opioid epidemic. A cover of Gillian Welch’s “Winter’s Come and Gone” follows, leading into “wings” — an Aslin original song written about and dedicated to her mother. Country classic “Keep Me From Blowing Away” (popularized by Linda Ronstadt) is reimagined in Aslin’s indie rock style before ending the album with title track and original “inflight,” summarizing the feeling of landing home after a long flight.
The Story of Aslin’s Inflight
Like almost all of Aslin’s cover art, Inflight features the work of an artist very near and dear to her heart: her grandmother. Visual artist Nancy Jo Mullen made the print image pictured on the right “If Gyllian were a bird” on May 14th 2006 (Aslin’s fifth birthday) and later was gifted to the songwriter, inspiring her third musical project.
