Multi-instrumentalist Sasami Ashworth has had a hand in dozens of musical projects for the past decade. Notably, a member of projects such as Cherry Glazerr and Dirt Dress, Ashworth has also been a studio member for Vagabon, Hand Habit, and Wild Nothing. Signing with Domino Records, Ashworth is releasing her own music under her own name, stylized as SASAMI.

“Not The Time” is one-half of single release with “Callous”, the first two pieces of music released by Ashworth under the project. A sprightly tempo injects a brightness into the melody’s punchy melancholy. Rolling with swirling guitars, the track’s immediacy hooks into Ashworth’s calming vocals singing forthright lyrics: “It’s not the time or place for us / But you said that you would save some space for us”
