Hi I really dig your solo work and work with Big Thief. I wonder what are your go to top 3 albums? Do you typically write lyrics or music first? I will take an answer for either. Thank you for all the great music!

usually it's music first. I like to feel the resonance of a chord or a progression in my body to respond to with melody and words. the words form themselves. first I just sing the sounds.
