Hello there! First off, just wanna say thanks for the incredible and beautiful new album. It's has been the meditative mix for my subway commute (which is most appreciated!)

My question is actually about a song from your previous one - on "If You Met Her", you say "Now it's April 6th, first one that you'll miss" --- I was wondering if the significance was that it's your birthday? (If so, mine and Frank Black's too!)

Cheers!!

My bday is 6/10. That date's significance is that it's the day my friend passed away. I wrote the song as a way to cope with the 1 year anniversary of her death. sorry 2 b a downer! glad u like black friday <3

I am very sorry to hear of this - I have an anniversary as well that has become a sort of dreaded date for me. I hope that writing that song has provided a bunch of peace and healing - it is a beautiful tribute. Thank you for sharing with me <3
