[Lost Amulet](https://oracle666.bandcamp.com/album/lost-amulet), the debut EP from nonbinary queer femme artist [Julia Sinelnikova aka The Oracle,](https://youtu.be/o_-EEyrV5Pg) opens with “Dark Iridescent,” a sad, brooding song about chasing after quickly transforming, fluid energy. Its video, a collaboration with videographer Errol Basdeo, creates a sinister yet sparkly atmosphere, incorporating a shifting, transmogrifying visual to both enchant and disorient the viewer.
“Dark Iridescent” was one of the first tracks we recorded for _Lost Amulet_," Julia explains from their Brooklyn home. "I wanted the visual to whisk viewers through an infinite vortex world, creating a sense of hallucination and melting emotion that makes viewers feel like they’re falling into a new dimension."
The other tracks on _Lost Amulet_ are “Clockwork,” a song that fuses spoken word poetry into an intensely dark but flowing narrative; the hyper-pop “Cloud 9 Angel”; “Leaving Earth” and two remixes of “Celadon Haze,” the song that first introduced Julia to music fans last winter.
Julia explains, "The aim of _Lost Amulet i_s to capture the diversity and beauty of queer love, and create an immersive, uplifting and healing atmosphere that counters these tumultuous times on earth.”

Julia Sinelnikova aka The Oracle is a Brooklyn artist who performs in immersive installations as an esoteric sorceress character. _Lost Amulet_ channels some of that energy.
“I want my music to encourage psychedelic exploration, excessive dreaming, and the imagination of new, utopian worlds—as well as a brush with dystopia for necessary contrast. Through listening to my songs, I aim to reveal my personas and the details of the worlds in my mind to my audiences.”
Produced by Meviu§, _Lost Amulet_ is being distributed by Ghostcat Media International and is available on [Bandcamp](https://oracle666.bandcamp.com/album/lost-amulet).
