Annotation — Australian & New Zealand Songs
Wellington, New Zealand artist, who combined the genres Neo-Soul, Trip Hop, and Glitch Pop, released the song "Vietnam" on this digital EP. It also appeared on the physical album My Design, on Others' Lives (Rough Peel Records # RPR013). Estère said in an interview, in November 2017, that she wrote the song around a recording she made while in the country: "there were these bamboo trees knocking together, and I sped up the sample to make this kind of percussive, crinkly sound. I was very mindful of how the war had affected the country and its people, so it's a song that considers conflict and war".1 Sources1stuff.co.nz: Anthropologist by day musician by night esteres new album↩
