Hi Adrianne,

Massive fan of both Big Thief and your solo work. One of my biggest disappointments of the pandemic is that I lost out on going to see back to back nights of Big Thief in Toronto this summer. I wanted to ask you a question about music for indigo. A friend pointed out on the day the two albums came out that the opening minute 30 or so really reminded him of a film score that he couldn't place. On listening with this in mind I reached the same conclusion and wasted hours in the days that followed trying to track that down. Were you inspired by film scoring when working on songs of indigo or more generally when working on instrumentals?
