AUDG – World’s End
“What is there on the very edge of your dreams? Perhaps you found your refuge in black and sharp as a blade of rocks or your heart belongs to music? You will find the answer in the charming Indie Folk composition from -audg-, where the singing of guitar strings will tell you an amazing story.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Что находится там, на самом краю ваших мечт? Быть может вы нашли своё пристанище у чёрных и острых как лезвие скал или ваше сердце принадлежит музыке? Ответ вы найдёте в очаровательной Indie Folk композиции от -AUDG-, где пение гитарных струн расскажут вам удивительную историю.”

"World's End" is where everything begins.
A lonely acoustic paired with wistful riffs, and natural despairing vocals sweetened with buoyant harmonies are what crafts this wholly sad and mellow indie track. The songwriting of AUDG's debut single is rooted in queer relationships that exist within unspoken bonds, somewhere between friendship and love. We fill the void of unprocessed, continuous heartbreak with meaningless hook-ups, lies of vegetarianism, and dating apps galore.
"Said I didn't eat meat, I lied..."
We're stuck in a memory, bound to the hope of rekindling a love lost years before. Lovers to friends, you know how this ends.

About AUDG:
AUDG is a nonbinary human and a Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter. They came to New York for college as "Audrey", and after graduating and much enlightenment, AUDG emerged. Originally from the suburbs of Massachusetts, they've been writing and playing music since their early teens. Their songwriting centers around their relationships, queerness, and family bonds; and their musical inspirations are drawn from indie artists like Phoebe Bridgers, Bon Iver, and the like. They've conquered their self-doubt and are now finally putting their own music out there to be heard and loved, after a long, tumultuous relationship with posting covers on Instagram.
