Thanya Iyer – I Like These : Guest Mix

Canadian musician Thayna Iyer’s 2020 album KIND made our albums of the year list and I enjoy it more and hear new things with every listen. KIND goes beyond exploring interconnectivity, sense of place and identity and invokes the need for community care and support. It’s a reminder of what can be achieved with nurturance. Sonically, Thanya’s voice is honeyed and unclouded, an eclectic blend of indie folk, jazz, orchestral and electronic moments that call for self-care and communal care in the form of healing through justice.

Of the mix, Thanya says it is:

A plethora of amazing music and people I love and theres so much more but here are a couple tunes that make me feel, dance, cry, ponder and I’ve listened to them on reeeepeattttt.

Thanya Iyer is an enigmatic songwriter who crafts sparkling experimental pop music. Her live trio wields acoustic and electronic instruments to flesh out these serene, spiritual compositions. Thanya and the band’s arrangements empower listeners to embrace mindfulness, aesthetic beauty and the interconnectedness of all things. They recently released their sophomore visual album “Kind” in the summer of 2020.

Thanks so much to Thanya for being our guest curator!
