Thavoron - '18'
21-year-old Seattle-based queer & first-gen Cambodian-American Thavoron shares his poignant "18" - a swirling tapestry on youth, lust, and the emotional scars of traumatic relationships.
After receiving huge praise from his debut album ‘Ugly’ - he returns with the stunning ’18’ - filled with dreamlike guitar sounds that leave your floating within the tracks delicate atmosphere.
Growing up as a first-generation Cambodian-American and writing songs about queer relationships, 21-year-old Thavoron approaches the alternative and indie rock genres with a perspective that is uniquely his own. After releasing a debut album thematically centered around self-discovery and finding beauty in the ugliness, Thavoron went into a reflective state and unearthed some of the more traumatic moments of a previous relationship for “18.”
I wrote this song during my quarantine in December. I think mentally I’m in a different mindset now for sure, but I think with all that extra time on my hands it just caused me to reflect a lot. I was mostly going through the feeling of “I don’t know why I’m still thinking so heavily and deeply on this past situation when I’ve moved on with my life”. I think it goes to show how much this situation affected me and how non-linear growth is. Writing this song taught me to coexist with my past, instead of suppressing it. - Thavoron
