Jan 09, 2019 SASAMI By Christopher Roberts

SASAMI (aka Los Angeles based musician Sasami Ashworth) has announced her self-titled debut album and shared a self-directed video for the new song “Jealousy.” She has also announced some tour dates. SASAMI is due out March 8 via Domino. Watch the video for “Jealousy” below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art, as well as her tour dates. The album includes the previous singles “Not the Time” and “Callous,” which are also both below.

Ashworth had this to say about the “Jealousy” video in a press release: “The whole ‘Jealousy’ video was born out of inspiration from the scene ‘Bruce Vs Chocolate cake’ from the 1996 film adaptation of Roald Dahl’s Matilda. I wanted it to be kind of like a filmed version of a weird play. I am a witch creature and my sidekick, Gobby, and I dance in our painted backdrop lair and plot mischief. Luckily our havoc bears liberating ends as the bewitched are released of their socially expected, self-imposed obsessions and rituals. I wanted to make something grotesque and creepy and funny of course.”
