You might recognize the name daine from her work with rising underground electronic artists Ninajirachi and Underscores, if not from her already impressive amount of releases, including 2022's Quantum Jumping and 2023's shapeless. A couple days ago she released a new single of her own called "PQC," and it's both sugary and explosive, like pop rocks.

‘PQC’ is a total embrace of failure, in all its glory. An optimistic love letter to oversensitivity. It explores the strength and softness it takes to show yourself to the world…the erosion of your boundaries — the courage to be publicly hated and feel it all. It is an ecstatic forgiveness of self and the world. -Stereogum
