Russian/Canadian artist Alia Synesthesia recently released a brand new single "Eternal Merch Girl", a follow up to the previously released single "Stop Go". Alia Synesthesia is a multi-instrumentalist, trained operatic singer, neo-classical composer, cellist and drummer. Her music compositions defy genre, spanning from electronic dance music, industrial and sludge metal to dungeon synth, atmospheric, cinematic scores, and operatic works. Known for her deep mezzo-soprano voice and experimental distorted cello technique, Alia carries her unique, exotic sound across genres.
Alia Synesthesia comments: "“Eternal Merch Girl” track name is, essentially, a bit of a joke. I am in a hidden Facebook group where a lot of female performers and musicians share their touring stories and one of the very common experiences is being mistaken for a band member’s girlfriend, merchandise girl or venue personnel when in reality, you are a female musician, and you came to play a show. In situations like these, it usually does not matter if your face is on the poster or not. I was describing this once to my partner and dropped a phrase that goes something like: “And it doesn’t matter for how long you’ve been doing this, for some people – you are an eternal merch girl”. My partner laughed and said I should keep the name for one of my tracks. And I did." Link
