UTO – When All You Want to Do Is Be the Fire Part of Fire

UTO’s second album ignites with purpose and intensity, blending post-electronica, 90s breakbeats, and skewed indie sleaze into a kaleidoscopic synth-pop blaze. Neysa’s vocals are off-kilter, urgent, and sometimes reminiscent of Kim Gordon, cutting through glitchy textures and pummeling sequencers, guiding listeners through themes of fire, transformation, and human connection. Written in parts apart and forged together by the fireside, the album is equal parts personal manifesto and cosmic exploration. From the smoldering tension of “Napkin” to shimmering, experimental climaxes, When All You Want to Do Is Be the Fire Part of Fire is a meditation on life, energy, and the courage to burn bright.
