Princess Century\u00a0is the\u00a0Canadian musical\u00a0force, DJ\u00a0and producer\u00a0Maya Postepski<\/em>\u00a0well known\u00a0for her\u00a0feature-length film scores,\u00a0global DJ gigs\u00a0and her celebrated playing and production\u00a0work within the worlds of\u00a0Austra,\u00a0Peaches\u00a0and\u00a0alongside producer\u00a0Robert Alfons\u00a0in\u00a0TR\/ST.\u00a0 Her solo work\u00a0via\u00a0Princess Century\u00a0though,\u00a0is\u00a0committed to submersion rather than submission. Her\u00a0new electro-infused\u00a0album title,\u00a0\u2018s u r r e n d e r\u2018 refers not to a white flag, but a surrendering of the self to everything around it.

Set for an\u00a0October 1, 2021\u00a0release via\u00a0Paper Bag Records\u00a0it follows her 2015 solo album\u00a0Progress<\/em>\u00a0for the label and is her second official solo offering. She teased the sweaty, sexy, stand alone single,\u00a0Cosmic Minivan<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in the fall of 2020 which\u00a0is treated to a club\u00a0remix\/digital only track offering on\u00a0\u2018s u r r e n d e r\u2019.\u00a0

On the new LP, Princess Century\u00a0navigates us across 11 tracks of\u00a0zero-gravity abyss and of pure, unbridled emotion: floating past scraps of former lives, rummaging through sparks of joy and pleasure alongside mires of pain and loneliness, reanimating heartbreak and survival via drums, synths, and gently-sung words. It\u2019s rich and visceral, a ritual of healing via dance and sound, of finding oneself in a careful arrangement of frequencies.

\u201cIt\u2019s a feeling album, not a thinking album,\u201d <\/em>says Postepski.

The first single is a potent and emotionally charged\u00a0track\u00a0Still The Same<\/em>. A\u00a0throbbing synth rebounds throughout the song while Postepski\u2019s ethereal voice sets the board: \u201cYou\u2019re still the same\/But I need you now, I need you more again<\/em>.\u201d

“Still The Same embodies the mix of emotions that arise at the end of a relationship,” notes Maya. “The longing and frustration, hopelessness and desire fused into a confusing cocktail. The inescapable need to feel held and seen by the one you were closest to, but can no longer reach, then pretending it’s all ok by going out on the town in a desperate attempt for connection.”<\/em>\u00a0This is the central confusion found on\u00a0\u2018s u r r e n d e r\u2019.
