Music of the Day: Asha Jefferies - Brand New Bitch

EGO RIDE - the debut album by Australian frog enthusiast Asha Jefferies - is a self-portrait of the songwriter in motion. “I think travel and transit are so transformative,” she says. “When I listen to music, I’m not still - I’m walking, or I’m driving.” Like filmmaker Greta Gerwig - forcing the camera to keep pace as she dances along New York City streets in Frances Ha - Jefferies harnesses the momentum of kinetic energy to move from scene to scene, to recover from her stumbles quickly. “It feels like I’m always writing about getting from one place to another.”
