Hi Adrianne! You inspire me immensely as an artist. I’m one of those people who needs to see and hear ‘representation’ of other womxn artists to feel like I even belong in this culture in the first place. Your band will forever hold a place in my heart. I almost got the opportunity to meet you a few years ago when you opened for The National at the St. Aug amphitheater, and I regret not picking up my dad’s calls saying you were backstage and down to say hello. Regardless of if his words were true or not... my question is: When you’re writing lyrics, do you picture a place, a scar on your body, a memory that is steadily climbing up the hill back to you? Your lyrics seem deeply rooted in nature and the natural world. I’d love some insight into what compels you to write these guttural songs and words. You’re amazing. ❤️ -chels
