Eusexua
In an interview on Vogue's The Run-Through podcast, twigs described eusexua as a kind of flow state in which one can
lose track of time. She also revealed a tangible definition: "For me, it's also the moment before I get a really good
idea of pure clarity. Like, when everything moves out the way, everything in your mind is completely blank and your mind
is elevated." In The Standard, she called eusexua "that moment of nothingness just before a big surge of inspiration or
creativity or passion. I describe it as a moment before an orgasm."
Ah, clarity. There wasn't really a word for that referenced special moment of blankness, which carries such a thrill
because 1) you know whatever is about to happen is about to happen, but 2) you have no idea how it'll go. That oncoming
orgasm could be the best orgasm of your life. Eusexua is why May is the best month of summer and why ordering and
retrieving your coke is sometimes more fun than doing it. The sureness of achievement plus hope for its totality is a
hell of a drug. If nothing else, "eusexua" is more useful than most made-up words in pop music_from "Californication" to
"Fergilicious" to "sussudio" to "zig-a-zig-ah."
For further justification, look no further than "Eusexua" the song, where atop a track-length four-on-the-floor club
crescendo, twigs relates: "Words cannot describe, baby/This feeling deep inside." Here she explicitly reaffirms her
alignment with art's imperative of expressing what previously went unexpressed. At the same time, the track's form is
familiar: On a fundamental level, the bangers on EUSEXUA bang like once and future bangers. As she flits from techno to
house to garage to drum and bass, the behavior of the almighty bass remains recognizable. She's balancing saying
something new with knowing what has always worked, a Goldilocks approach to making pop. And while it would be a stretch
to call twigs a pop star at this point in time (she's never had a pop chart hit in any territory besides New Zealand),
that isn't stopping her from running circles around virtually everyone else with a legitimate claim for the title. The
concept, the sound, and the look_particularly the apocalypse-in-the-front, party-in-the-back hairstyle she's been
rocking lately, inspired by ancient Egypt_all make EUSEXUA an era for the ages.
