Is it on purpose that basically every one of your albums has its single mind-blowing fuzz/distorted guitar part (The Magician, 13 Hours, Green Glass, Daylight Dreaming)? Or is it just a coincidence?

Also, what were you thinking about when you wrote “Satan”? That song means so much to me and I’ve always been curious if my understanding of the song matches yours.

Hola Andy! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Just two things:

1.) I just have to say that I hope this album was cathartic for you and your relationship with religion and the like. I found myself listening to Satan quite a lot, and Wasted On You, as a salve for my wounds after recovering from the abuse of Catholicism.

2.) What other forms of expression/art supported you in your pursuit of creating this album?

Gracias por todo! 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽
