The music that Ashanti Mutinta makes as Backxwash deals almost exclusively in pain. Pain is not a good thing. Talk to anyone who has experienced real, actual hardship and they would much rather have not. It’s seems a whole lot easier to just be happy. Mutinta, who grew up in a conservative environment in Zambia before moving to Canada as a teen, spends her songs trying to mitigate all the pain that she’s felt. Her songs are open wounds — they are raw and visceral and suffocatingly intense (stereogum)
