Marionette, explores themes of fear, control, and manipulation. It’s an emotional and sonic journey that delves into duality—the tension between light and dark, freedom and oppression. Drawing inspiration from Gloria Anzaldúa’s Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza, the album captures the lived experience of existing between worlds. Bleeth explores the complexities of identity, grappling with the fluidity of self. This includes navigating the intersections of cultural identity, gender expression, and sexuality, embracing the fluidity of being neither fully Cuban nor fully American, neither fully man nor woman, and the ever-shifting spectrum of queerness. It's a reflection of our personal experiences, struggles, and the complexities of living in the borderlands, both physically and metaphorically.
