ssion is the brainchild of cody critcheloe, a multi-faceted artist who has released 3 genre-blending albums, and directed music videos for artists like robyn, peaches, and perfume genius. Fusing psychedelic rock, glam, punk, and 80's pop, critcheloe creates danceable and defiant electronica that plays with cleverly crude lyrics. most recently, ssion closed out 2018 with his first full-length album in seven years, entitled 'o' (short for optimistic). this latest offering features a bevy of notable guest appearances including ariel pink and sky ferreira, and shows the nyc based icon in a more sophisticated light, whilst still retaining the essence of his artful sonic experimentalism.
