What to listen to when summer is in its full swing and Covid-19 detains you from travelling to your favourite vacation spot? Well, time to take a trip insight your mind ... or maybe even throw a socially distanced pool party if you are capable of. Whatever you do, make sure to have some Washed Out playing on your speakers.

The internationally known British-Nigerian artist and curator Zina Saro-Wiwa just made her musical debut as SIRA*.

We spoke to Zina about musical influences from her homeland, African environmentalism and practices of deep listening.
