“American” is a full length album about a perspective of the bi-racial asian experience following an increased anti-asian sentiment post covid. Written and recorded by classically trained pianist, Angelica Olstad, this project marks the artist’s debut full length LP. Featuring audio clips from the artist’s parents, the album challenges the biases surrounding the American identity, specifically speaking from an underrepresented racial group usually absent from media and mainstream arts. The album is intended to uplift and inspire other asian americans who have suffered extreme anxiety or fear from being attacked.
The music, generally calm is punctuated by moments of tensions and dissonance is intended to challenge and disrupt biases American identity actually looks like. It is a meditation on the intentional practices that are needed to implement long lasting change. Sourced from classical music, the project aims to make the arts accessible to a greater population by featuring relatable storylines about everyday people.
