Zuniga, Dagmar - in filth your mystery is kingdom / far smile peasant in yellow music

Nicaraguan-American artist, Dagmar Zuniga, makes music that feels both intimate and expansive: songs drift like disrupted signals, carried by harmony, tape hiss, and a strong sense of touch.

Her debut solo album — written and recorded in New York, Norway, and Athens, Georgia over a period of five years on her longtime companion, the Tascam 424 — was uploaded to Bandcamp and YouTube in January 2025, quickly garnering over two hundred thousand views and the attention of artists such as Mount Eerie, who invited her to tour with them that summer.
