Asher White - 8 Tips for Full Catastrophe Living (2025) [Official Digital Download]

The Statue of Liberty is so hyperreal, so over-replicated in insurance ads and postage stamps and on the Vegas strip, that if you ever happen to be looking at her in real life, you won't see her at all. There she is on the cover of 8 Tips for Full Catastrophe Living, the new album by Asher White, in pieces but not destroyed – in progress, being built, not yet complete. Scaffolding cages her body. Her torch is on the ground, her head somewhere out of frame. She's still in France. It's an old photo in faded sepia, but you can imagine her skin still gleaming: bare copper, no patina. Before she was a symbol, she was metal, and living, sweating people riveted her together.

Like White's previous album Home Constellation Study, 8 Tips for Full Catastrophe Living darts and weaves among boldly varied musical styles. Doom metal splits open into bossa nova; psychedelic rock and power pop flip into industrial techno. The record's quick turns and vivid contrasts reflect White's cultural voraciousness. A writer, painter, and sculptor as well as a musician, she gathers materials constantly, always digging for new ideas in every possible form. "It’s forever collage, forever assemblage," she says of her music.
