The title is taken from a science fiction novel she read during the purgatory of the pandemic, alluding to a dimensional ideation of departure-\"the permission to imagine leaving.\" Recorded in her current home of Charleston, she characterizes the album's mood in terms both reflective and raw: an exploration of things suppressed, foundations beginning to crack, \"talking myself off a ledge.\" The music of Niecy Blues transposes reverie and reckoning into emotive devotionals of keys, guitar, bass, synth, and bewitched voice, steeped in sacred atmospheres gleaned from a youth spent in a religious Oklahoma household: \"My first experience with ambient music was church-slow songs of worship, with delay on the guitar... even if you don't believe, you feel something.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1. 1111\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 2. the Nite B4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 3.
