Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Cheryl Waters, host of the Midday Show on KEXP, is "Your Spit" by IAN SWEET, a 2023 single on Polyvinyl Records.
Ian Sweet — the project of L.A.-based artist Jilian Medford — returned last week with her fourth full-length, titled SUCKER, an album she began writing during a post-COVID cross-country road trip to an artist residency. “I went there not knowing exactly what I wanted to do or make, but I knew I wanted to explore and get out of my comfort zone," she says via a press release. "I forced myself to make things on the spot, in the moment and not overthink it too much.”
One of the resulting tracks is today's Song of the Day, a track Medford says is "about the joy and fear that surrounds new relationships. The excitement that’s also accompanied by doubt. But I’d be lying if I didn’t say the song is just mostly about making out.”
