Roquet’s sound settles into a beautiful groove on this first full length album, arriving in the alternative folk and rock space. Serotinous Skin, harnesses Roquet’s poetic lyricism and folk sensibilities, bringing them from the evocative and ethereal to places of grit and gravity. Through a sonically diverse landscape, Serotinous Skin ties together themes of self awareness, grief, love, longing, and the transformative beauty that can come through life’s vicissitudes.

lyrics
Lyrics: Nayyirah Waheed
Music: Jessa Roquet
the hard season
will
split you through.
do not worry.
you will bleed water.
do not worry.
this is grief.
your face will fall out and
down your skin
and
there will be scorching.
(do not worry)
keep speaking the years from
their hiding places.
keep coughing up smoke
from all the deaths you have
died. keep the rage tender.
because the soft season will
come.
it will come.
loud.
ready.
gulping.
both hands in your chest.
up all night.
up all of the nights.
to drink all damage into love.
the hard season
will
split you through.
