Minhwee Lee’s first solo album, Borrowed Tongue, will be released (12” vinyl and digital) in November 2016. The eight tracks, written across seven years and recorded over two years, are loosely tied into one narrative. Leaning on the musical as well as lyrical strength, Lee’s music asks whether a very personal story can become that of the listener, as an individual and as a multitude.“Perhaps she, too, must have been having nightmares; beautiful and somber dreams, where one has her tongue stolen, borrows a tongue, and finally sings with it. It is strange that one person’s nightmare could be solace to another. But if grief is, as is happiness, something that we have borrowed from some part of life—then we have no choice but to cherish the grief until it no longer is ours. We cannot but let the grief linger on the tip of our tongue, slowly touching and feeling.” (Youngle Kim, Sometimes an artist, currently editorial designer for the monthly [Todayboda] magazine)
