    “Limerence is an involuntary cognitive and emotional state of intense romantic desire for another person. The term was coined by psychologist Dorothy Tennov to describe the ultimate, near-obsessive form of romantic love. Limerence is sometimes also referred to as infatuation, or is colloquially known as a crush, but in reality it is something much different.”

    What’s it like to fall in love with far-off objects? Episode #14 of Iconastasia is a moody, half-lit mixtape of everything from drum and bass to ambient, indie to electro – because your love is the perfect drug and there’s no quitting it.
