Anna Love this so much! DDIN is talent that will continue to go places. Honestly couldn't choose just one favorite track - everything in this dark atmospheric fairly tale land of an album sounds amazing and should really be listened to as a whole. Don't sleep on this! Favorite track: HIGH.

Eli Owens Holy shit I am excited for this.

DAI DDIN's best album yet: tight mixing, clever composition, poignant lyricism. Liquid love pouring out of a broken heart. Favorite track: 302.

about

November 13, 2020: Don't do it, Neil aka Mabel Harper (she/her) is from Philadelphia, PA and one of the original members of Grimalkin Records. Harper explores mental illness, grief, and denial on I WANNA SEE WHAT DEATH IS LIKE, her newest album and most candid work-to-date. Through haunting production, irresistible pop hooks, and violent contrasts, IWSWDIL broadens Don't do it, Neil's creative horizons while delving frankly into the circumstances surrounding Harper's real-life suicide attempt, and exorcises personal demons along the way.
