Artist To Watch: Asher White

Asher White thrives in contradictions. The Brooklyn-based artist’s music clearly draws on the pop canon, but her songs rarely unfurl with the expected linearity or instant accessibility associated with pop music. She has an affection for solitary home recording, clashing instrumental assemblage, and outré sonic experimentation, but she’s also able to tap into a reservoir of viscerally catchy melodies. She has over a dozen albums publicly available online, yet she feels like she’s still just scratching the surface of where her career could take her.
