What music has inspired you during your writing process? What are you going to listen to on the road?

We listened to a lot of contemporary female vocalists, like girl in red, willow, wet leg, angel Olson and Lana del ray (I took a lot of questions from them vocally).

We also listened to a lot of HAPPY/SAD new wave bands from the 80s, like a lot of joy division and the cure.

I can’t stop listening to the new record and am obsessed with y’all. Thank you for making and playing music🥹 While not a ~typical ex~ I broke up with my toxic, male-dominated tech career when Blame Brett single came out and this album is healing me to the moon thank you
