Today, avant-garde electropop artist Laura Jinn shares a new single, “Gasp,” a stupendous indie pop banger with an extraterrestrial flavor. One of Jinn’s early songs, “I’m Beginning to Think” is an all time top five song for East Portland Blog. She has also released an intriguing cover of “Flagpole Sitta,” the 90s hit for Harvey Danger that was likely released before she was born.
Soulful and percussive verses suddenly drop into a chorus of crashing waves and shimmering synths as Jinn witnesses her heart bend and break. Stalking around a crowded room, Jinn addresses a rival with desperation and desire balanced on the knife-edge of pain and pleasure, seeking release. For fans of Glass Animals, Passion Pit, and Gorillaz, “Gasp” sees Laura Jinn stepping wholeheartedly into the electronic arena, cementing herself as a force to be reckoned with.
On the track, Jinn says, “‘Gasp’ is about the ecstasy and agony of jealousy and the intense, peculiar relationship between two romantic rivals. No one understands the beauty of the one you love like someone else vying for their attention. I think that relationship is beautiful and precious.”
Laura Jinn fosters a macabre sensibility with gleeful abandon to create experimental pop songs for house party fight scenes and late-night highway getaways. Combining the grandiose death-drive of her emo heroes with an irreverent genre-melting production style, Jinn’s electro-pop tracks fixate on the romance and absurdity of suburban life.
Born and raised in southern Ohio, Jinn grew up hanging out with older girls on LiveJournal and doing her homework. After emerging from the self-inflicted turbulence of her late teens and early adulthood, she started writing and producing electronic music. She released her debut EP, Sick!, a maniacal collection of goth pop chaos, in 2020. Jinn is currently based in New Orleans.
