Zinnia is a Toronto-based art pop project of Rachael Cardiello. Lupins is only her first single, which will be included on her debut album Sensations in Two Dot, due out this spring.

The singer-songwriter says of the song: “The 18 month incubation of Lupins was accompanied by many personal moments of grief; a time when it seemed no matter what direction I looked, I found others at their breaking points. Writing it served as a salve for a period of pain.”

Despite this background, Lupins sounds hopeful, and may very well offer comfort to those like Cardiello, who find themselves at a loss for clear solutions.
