It’s visual and audio aesthetics were deep rooted in anime, cosplay, witchcraft, feminism, and cyber goth/rave culture.” Additionally, the re-release features three bonus tracks from the same time period, “Earth Is My Playground”, “Anomaly”, and “Versace Hottie”. Her most recent project was the mixtape A Girl Cried Red, released by Rough Trade under her real name, Destiny Frasqueri. Metallic Butterfly is available to stream on Spotify.
