Press Clippings

“listening brings me very viscerally back to awkward high school dances: the synths shimmer like disco ball lights reflecting off foil decorations, and the hazy vocals cast a romantic film over everything. ” - The Fader

Your favourite place to listen to music

The soundtrack to your last holiday

The last holiday I went on was tour, and I kept staring out the window listening to Siren 042 by Lala Lala and WHY? on a loop, it's so beautiful

A song which has changed your mind

That’s a cool question… I think all songs have shaped my mind in one way or another. For whatever reason the one that’s coming up now is the Chainsmokers, that song Closer. It’s super catchy. But a few years ago I was in LA trying to decide if I should move there, and that song was everywhere. When I got home it came on and I realized it epitomized how I felt about LA and I suddenly knew I wasn’t moving there. But more important, Reckoner changed my mind about Radiohead -- that one was my way in.

A song which makes you cry

I Remember by Molly Drake, it's so pure.

A song which gives you goosebumps

Plays John Cassavetes Pt. 2 by Ekkehard Ehlers.

A song which makes you feel empowered

Had Ten Dollaz by Cherry Glazerr lately!

An artist you regret never having seen live

Nina Simone

An artist you hope to see live soon

Kacey Musgraves, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Nils Frahm

A gig you’ll never forget

I usually like really small shows, but seeing Paul McCartney was a big deal
