about

'íra' is the first release from Anna Wærum under the name ill.

íra means anger and revenge in Latin and is one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
íra is feisty arpeggio synthesizers, delicately collected live recordings, proud acoustic guitars and introspectively greedy pop melodies. íra is shiny soft ring armor, of t-shirts of images of t-shirts is armor is music. íra is breakup songs with the patriarchy, reading aloud on the dance floor and lazer pointers in bed. íra is the fight for access to our common resources, institutions, education, influence, sustenance and medical help. íra is the shield against the resistance bodies that ill's encounters, bodies that are called permanently disabled, hysterical.

What if it's not my body that's wrong? What if I can make music in bed? What if my bed is my studio? What if it doesn't need to be mixed more than that? What if the first take was the only take and it mattered to me? What if the first take laughs in the face of the seventh take, saying “fuck takes!! I'm not a take!! I'm a fucking song from eternity and you can't delete me no matter how many times you press apple Z”? What if I'm just too exhausted… but I'm a star? What if my armor is my friends mixing it for me exaaaaaaactly the way I want it, even if we disagree? What if my sword is that I can lie here and experience the whole world and I don't need drugs or to live the (dudy) bohemian lifestyle because my antennae are longer than yours? What if the real work is to let it happen? To honor the moment and what was present? What if I don't have to feel bad to do something good? What if what comes must come from a body that feels safe? A body that can feel? What if that was my battle cry?

I work from a body broken, but also, I work from a body, one that is continuously broken down, breaking. I work from trembling nerves, too exposed, unshielded. I work from a glittering body, shivering nerves too unshielded, a corner beaming with light. I work from a sunbeamed corner.
