'Delicious Collision' is a mythic chamber prog album on love and power. Bombastic riffs, lush symphonics, and tapestried guitar loops enliven this debut LP from gushes, a Brooklyn-based music and ceremony project by Jennae Santos.

Santos’ background in downtown theatre and plant medicine feed gushes’ immersive shows, which often encompass political tea ceremony, painted mirrors, and floral devastation. gushes’ penchant for sensorial performance is transmuted sonically on the album’s cinematic production and grandiose arrangements, which elicit spiritual tangibility to decolonization anthems and love songs.

In Santos’ words…
“Through the most wondrous and painful transitions in my life, I dream of sea caves, which are always portals. 'Delicious Collision' refers to a series of portals– psychedelic convergences of ancestral, elemental, and erotic spirits whose gravitational dance maps pathways for unbound expressions of liberation. At its core, 'Delicious Collision' is about how love and power move us, just as waves shape coastlines, as told through dramatic compositions, sensorial songwriting, grandiose production, and Big Riff Energy.“
