Ms Xxan Launches Album 'Make Yourself the Lie'

On September 8, 2026, Ms Xxan released her nine-track album titled "Make Yourself the Lie" through VuMantra Records. The album is available as a free, name-your-price download on Bandcamp. Ms Xxan performs the spoken word poetry herself, utilizing synthesized vocal effects and constructing the album’s backing from dark ambient and noise-industrial soundscapes. She is solely credited for writing, performing, composing, producing, and mixing the record.

The album carries a content warning due to strong and explicit lyrics, exploring themes of depression in contemporary society. The tracks, which become increasingly intense as the album progresses, include: "make yourself the lie.," "psychic break.," "doctrine of harm.," "dissociative parallels.," "crossing over.," "discontinuance.," "disremember.," "anhedonia.," and "hatchling." This material is also featured in the "Ms Xxan" podcast, accessible on Apple Podcasts and Audiomack, and is available for streaming on SoundCloud.

Ms Xxan, who writes and produces spoken word and industrial noise music, is currently based in the Pacific Northwest but plans to relocate soon. "Make Yourself the Lie" marks her first release on VuMantra Records, a Berlin-based label founded by Vince Gagliardi in 2019. The label is known for its output described as "endarkening rhythms for dystopic sub-cultures," emphasizing percussive, ritualistic, and tribalistic electronic music.
