The Hook mixtape is compiled through a series of music related questions. Each artist who fills it out can answer as many or as few of the questions as they wish, and elaborate on their choices, or let them speak for themselves.

Artist

Jess Williamson

Location

Los Angeles

FYI

Texan born Williamson initially started her forage into the music world as a journalist, interviewing bands for her student radio show.

Press Clippings

'Williamson has a fluttery, plaintive voice reminiscent of Angel Olsen or Faye Webster, and the mood of these songs is that of watching an old friend pack their belongings and disappear down the road.' Pitchfork

The last piece of music you paid for (streaming doesn’t count)

I pre-ordered Volume 1 by Migration of Wolves on vinyl from their bandcamp: https://migrationofwolves.bandcamp.com/releases

This is a great album by my friend Taylor Tehan. I’ve been listening to it and loving it for years, and he’s finally pressing it to vinyl.
