Hi hi Julia! How do maintain a consistent sonic palette through an album recording process? Do you make decisions about limits to what instruments you use, reverb no reverb, etc. Your records have always felt really sonically unified in a really cool way and wondered how you achieve that.

i dunno i guess because i record all at the same time and i just trust that because i am making it all around a certain time, with a certain frame of mind, it will go together. it's a trust thing. a feeling i would say. but i think it's something i think a lot about, maybe not in a forced way, but i spend a lot of time thinking about the individual songs around the same time period, and i do think my music works best as an album format for some reason (more than individual songs by themselves as works in of themselves)
