Aromanticism - Moses Sumney
Aromanticism

Aromanticism is the triumphant debut from Moses Sumney, released on September 22, 2017 through Jagjaguwar. A month prior to the album’s release, Moses took to Tumblr to pen a “Prose-Poem” Essay unraveling the project. Moses explains that Aromanticism is a concept album about “lovelessness as a sonic dreamscape” that seeks to “interrogate the idea that romance is normative and necessary”. This isn’t protest music, however, as much as it is process music. It’s the 2am sweat you wake up in, processing that lonesomeness might not just be a transitory hallway you’re passing through en route to inevitable partnership. It’s recognizing statelessness as stasis. The not-yet-dictionary definition of an “aromantic” is someone who doesn’t experience romantic love, or does to a diminished, abnormal degree. I’m just trying to get it out from over the squiggly red line. Alternative titles for Aromanticism could be: Narcissus; Don’t Touch Me; Please Touch Me; Sure, Let’s Touch Each Other but Please Leave Right After We Cum; Grey A; It’s Not You, It’s Me; It’s Not You – Actually, It’s Not Anyone; It’s Not Me, It’s My Childhood.
