Arima Ederra explores time and memory on new album A Rush To Nowhere

The new record follows her 2022 debut An Orange Colored Day and is framed as an exploration of time, memory, and perception, a theme visually articulated in the shadow-drenched, temporally fluid music videos for earlier singles "Heard What You Said" and "First Time".

A Rush To Nowhere was written over a two-year period across locations including Lake Arrowhead, Havana, and Oaxaca, a migratory process that informed the record’s fluid sound, drawing from R&B, soul, folk and pop, with influences such as Amel Larrieux and Joni Mitchell.

“Music has a way of stopping time especially when I need it most,” Ederra notes, “creating sanctuary in a world that never slows." The creation of the songs for the record, she explains, was like a journey of self-discovery: “Writing this work revealed the many versions of me across time, the multitudes I hold."
