    "comment": "The neo-classical Scottish-Danish songwriter Clarissa Connelly put out an album in 2024 called World of Work. It doesn’t exactly deal with “work” the way that you might imagine in a 21st-century American context. On the contrary, Connelly’s opus dives deep into centuries-old philosophical concepts regarding our relationship with our mortal world, bodily movement, and what’s known as “religious ecstasy” — entering a flow state.\n\n\nKEXP contributor Isabel Khalili spoke with Connelly about the themes she taps into, which are as timeless as the sound of the music itself. The album centers around the use of bells, circularity, and death as a form of rebirth.\n\n\n“The feeling of being part of something bigger — what is that?” Connelly asks in the interview, nodding to the first existential questions of our human ancestors. “Connecting with the past gives me a feeling of getting really high. Bells have always been a way of connecting to that. They are our structure of society.” Her hope for the listener is that the album can create space, peace, and “even just a brief moment of clarity or wanting to let go and being brave.”\n\n\nLink to the album: https://clarissaconnelly.bandcamp.com/album/world-of-work",
