For Schjelderup, life has always been about observation and finding one's purpose in the community at large. She is the molecule personified: the smallest bit of matter that retains its own identity while being part of something greater. This keen sense of inspection and willingness to surrender to feelings of wide-eyed wonder guided Schjelderup from her childhood to the release of her debut album, Human Safari.   For the LP, Schjelderup adopted role of observer as she examined the world around her. "You could look at it like a bird walking around and feeling stupid for not understanding how everything works," she theorizes. "You feel small. When cognition takes over, those feelings can come easily because it's so much to take in for a tiny creature. It's celebrating the spectacle."   Human Safari consists of 12 songs alternating between joyous, beat-driven avant-pop and slick synthwave. "It's for sure two poles," Schjelderup explains. "The speaker is the storyteller and the instrumentals are nature or the way life goes. Sometimes you get scared, sometimes it opens up. It's life. I wanted to make a landscape where the voice could guide you through and be a safe voice. So even when it's a little bit darker, you're still in the story and it continues."   Throughout her life – and the album – Schjelderup espouses the concept of the extended chosen family and welcoming those who might otherwise feel uninvited. "It's a sense of belonging, a sense of oneness that you don't see in other parts of society," she says. "Community is everything. It's very important but it starts with the individual. If I can contribute to that, I want to do it."         (hi-res)
