Slay Your Demons with Mima Good’s Debut LP “Hydra”

These days, demons seem to lurk at every corner, haunting everything from our presidential transition to our innermost moments. Mima Good has a soundtrack to help you fight them.

Listen to Hydra

The Hydra is a giant 9-headed serpent that Hercules has to fight in Greek mythology. When he cuts off one head, two more grow in its place. For Mima, this serves as a metaphor for the constant personal and collective battle against systems of oppression. “When I released the Good Girl EP, I felt relieved that I had conquered my greatest personal trauma. Yet, I found that once I eliminated that monster, I found others lurking beneath the surface. I wanted so badly to feel free from the grips of my abuser, the patriarchy, trauma, but I realized how much my fear is tied to the collective. No one is free until everyone is free.”

The 12 tracks of “Hydra” feature a genre-bending collection of sounds, both live and electronically programmed. It is an explosive bedroom pop project, exploring many heads of trauma and oppression. Written, performed, and produced by Mima Good, Hydra pushes the boundaries of contemporary pop. The cathartic project features collaborations with many of Good’s friends, including Christopher McBride on saxophone, Shelby Keller (Pom Pom Squad) on percussion, and YATTA on vocal ad libs. “I wanted the album to hold the vulnerability of a bedroom recording with the clear audio quality of a studio pop album.”
