Dust - LP

Accessory is the solo project of Jason Balla (of Dehd), a Chicago-based songwriter and multi-disciplinary artist. Their work centers on the conflict between optimism and melancholy, holding their seemingly infinite weight with equal perspective and grace, pointing to their correspondence through curious and complex melodic experiences that mimic the tension of the natural and digital world. Their debut album Dust is where the celestial meets the molecular. Angels, shooting stars, and lightning converse with blood, serotonin, and calcium. In an era of live- streamed pain and overwhelming apathy, Balla composed these songs to put their world in order, to get to the human heart of it all, processing the decay for himself and for anyone else feeling the ache of pessimism and hopelessness.
