Golden Aquarians is the production extension of Sarah Jaffe and Roberto Sanchez.
Jaffe and Sanchez were on tour in support of Jaffe’s latest EP, SMUT, as the global pandemic emerged and the world began to shut down. Returning home to New York City, the pair joined their peers in seclusion. Resolved not to let isolation squander creativity, the two started sending ideas back and forth until their collaboration reached its first completion.
“High Enough” speaks to the desire to break out of all of it.
Sonically, it fuses sounds of the duo’s adopted home of New York City and their Texan roots, blending sampled beats, chopped synths and layered vocals.
