"Show Me How You Disappear is bigger, brighter, cleaner, more ambitious than anything she’s done...The album scales heights and punches the air upon reaching them, and the best songs swell in your chest like prime-era Broken Social Scene.” - Pitchfork

"There’s such a fantastic release in these songs. Over and over again it [feels] like this glorious exhalation." - NPR Music

“Show Me How You Disappear is her strongest project to date, allowing equal room for this new clarity and the cataclysmic crash of distortion frequently heard on her previous albums.” - FLOOD

"Over the record’s ten tracks, she literally catches her breath—and finds her voice in the process." - American Songwriter

IAN SWEET (the musical project of Jilian Medford) has released her stunning new album, Show Me How You Disappear. Mesmeric and kaleidoscopic, shimmering with electrified unease, Show Me How You Disappear unfolds at an acute juncture in her life, charting from a mental health crisis to an intensive healing process and what comes after. The cyclical nature of obsessive thought patterns shapes the record. It's self-referential, each song in conversation with one another, tracing the same relationship and the desire to be an escape artist from your own life. 

The resulting record envelops both Medford and the listener like water: its ebb and flow, the ease with which it can switch from nourishing to endangering you. Fully immersive, with guitar lines as quick to sound grungy as they are to ascend to astral distortion, it's a lush cacophony of experimentation. Dizzying and enthralling, Show Me How You Disappear is the sound of someone coming apart and putting themselves back together — the moment an old mantra, repeated into the mirror time and time again, finally clicks. To look at your reflection, and finally feel seen.

Following her recent Pitchfork Rising feature, Medford will celebrate the album's release with a Pitchfork Instagram takeover later today. Also announcing is an Audiotree STAGED livestream performance taking place on March 26 at Los Angeles’ Lodge Room. Tickets onsale now.
