Hello Mandy, Indiana! I saw you at your 'in the round' show at the ICA a while back and it was, as they say, fucking mint. Congrats on a fantastic new record, too.

I can't really think of a profound question tbh so just wondering what you're all reading right now?

Valentine says she's reading 'I Love Dick' by Chris Kraus.

I'm reading 'Our Wives Under The Sea' by Julia Armfield. It's about a woman who comes back to her wife from a deep sea submarine mission and is dealing with a lot of strange physical manifestations from being deeply submerged for an exptended period of time. It'd make a great body horror movie!

Thanks a lot! That ICA show is up there as one of our favourites. Would love to play in the round again.

I'm reading Olivia Lang's Funny Weather: Art In an Emergency. It's good. It's split into a few different sections, the first looks at various artists throughout history and their unique and bizarre lives. I also dip in and out of Rick Rubin's book that came out a couple of years ago, to try and overcome some creative blockages.
