what to heck

Jordaan Mason has been making music for years now, and has amassed an impressive back catalog while doing so. The Canadian musician's next album, form less, was recorded in isolation over a two week period as Mason worked through complicated thoughts on queerness and identity: " is meant to be like, a command, a command to decategorize, to declassify, to unname things," they explain. " Bataille describes the 'formless' as that which rational thought cannot comprehend. I guess I see queerness as a kind of formlessness. It also, I think, suits the eclectic short bursts of songs that the album is comprised of… a record about transitioning, becoming, but not really becoming anything in particular. Forming less." "I Was Coerced," the album's lead single, possesses a tender and gentle beauty. It's a simple acoustic that reveals intricacy in layers, not unlike unraveling the many facets of a person. Mason says it's "about being taught to hate the girl in me, but trying to come over that,"
