Aimee Lay's latest album, The Other Side Of You was recorded as more of an organic experiment than as a straight ahead studio album. The goal was to write and record something as true to being as fully expressed creatively as anything she'd ever done in the past. This intention became even more critical when her father suddenly developed a mysteriously complex illness and then passed away before the album was completed. Aimee draws upon many influences on this album, predominantly 60s and 70s folk, psychedelia, garage rock and pop elements. "I wanted to make an album like my own "Forever Changes" by Love; an album that had many different moods, sounds, elements, types of songs. but all relevant to the experience of being alive as a human in this world, with all of the endlessly varying emotions that accompany this experience. My father's death included a lot of traumatic psychological mysteries as well as physical illnesses. This left both myself and my family with a sense of deep existential crisis and PTSD. I found myself in an urgent search for spiritual understanding, the seeking of and critical need for its discovery and possibility of redemption. The title track, "The Other Side Of You" was written about both the search to understand the shadow sides of another as well the very shadow sides within oneself".
