Pen Palindrome is the solo project of Virginia-native, Ava Mirzadegan. Her songs function as a sort of roadmap for finding joy while experiencing grief and anxiety. She creates folk-tinged indie rock that is earnest and a little melancholic. But if you asked her, she’d call it “ambient rock you can take home to meet your family.” In March 2019, she released a collection of demos entitled Dilettante Ball. The songs were recorded in various rooms of her home onto a zoom recorder, and dubbed onto home-made cassette tapes. The songs acted as exercises in battling writer’s block. With lyrics that were mostly ad-libbed in a single sitting, the songs attempt to verbalize the unadulterated subconscious emotions of love, distance, and longing. This June, the collection was re-released through Wisconsin-based tape label, Painted Blonde.
