Taste Test: Jessye DeSilva tosses their anxiety to the curb with new song, ‘Worry’
The queer staple lassos their anxiety on a new song.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Anxiety is a slimy, dirty little creature. It’ll bite the skin as it makes its way up your spine, and sometimes, no matter how much you shake, it’ll carve its fangs even deeper into your flesh. Taking control of their own struggles, Americana singer-songwriter and B-Sides & Badlands queer gemstone Jessye DeSilva reconfigures their anxiety into a lover’s quarrel. On the guitar-geared new entry called “Worry,” they wrangles the long-toothed demons as front-porch bound bloodhounds. “Leave your key by the door / Take your shoes off my clean floor,” they profess. Their voice glides in windswept puffs, every vial of worry somehow evaporating until it comes pouring back down again; it’ll happen eventually, but for now, they has found peace.
“Worry” is the first new taste music since DeSilva’s LP, Hoarfrost and Crocus Shoots, from earlier this year.
