The Korean American producer manages to create music and art, spend time with friends and family and keep her head above the raging seas of anxiety, and “Waking Up Down” is a defiant celebration of all those things (while leaving room for doubt, because you can not totally defeat doubt). Likewise, Yaeji’s “Waking Up Down” parodies my checklist-driven adulthood, albeit in a much less sinister, much groovier way.
