Taste Test: Missy Bauman mines nothing for ‘Infinite Everything’
The folk musician remembers coldness of heartache.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
In blinding, suffocating nothing, we can find everything. Well, alt-folk singer-songwriter Missy Bauman seems to believe so. On her new song “Infinite Everything,” she undergoes personal transformation and utter loss in the aftermath of heartbreak. “You don’t know how to talk to me / It’s infinite everything / I’m glad it’s happening,” she casts her pain into the fire. She holds onto the cold, cloying absence of love, which seems to lead her to where she was always meant to go. She later admits, “I know I should quit you, too / But I just haven’t yet.” Acoustic guitar in tow, Bauman brandishes her scars like medalions, and while the sting still wrecks her body, she is at least self-aware enough never to get swallowed whole again.
“Infinite Everything” samples her new album, Sweet, out everywhere now.
