Imori Releases Sophomore Album ‘Noon’
In 2001, Imori was born in Altus, OK, and as a military brat, grew up all over the US until finally settling in a small town outside of Burlington, VT. Being so far up in the cold North is what she describes has “subconsciously inspired the cold atmosphere” in most of her music. Imori started writing poems and songs at the ages of 8 and 9, and by the time she was in high school, was producing and recording her own music as well.
“Dreamy”, “scary”, “psychedelic”, “dark”, “haunting”, are some words that people have used to describe her music. Imoris love of all things horror has also inspired her to incorporate horror in the depths of her tracks and her unsettling, dark lyrics.
Not sticking to one genre all the time, Imori is very experimental with her art and is not afraid to blur the lines between genres/moods to create something different.
The story behind “Noon” is an apocalyptic scenario in which the sun has disappeared and the world is left in darkness. Humanity is depleting rapidly as the world plunges into insanity, crime, death, etc. The album is in the POV of a ghost who slowly comes to realize she is living in the afterlife, but is still able to watch the world decay from a distance.
She begins to regain her memories through dreams and nightmares and comes to realize she was murdered. She then experiences human emotions again – such as anger, resentment, confusion, sorrow, and fear. She seeks to know why she alone is lucid in this realm, and wants to sleep like her fellow ghosts.
