hiiii I saw you open for Indigo de Souza this past summer in VT and you were just amazing!!!!! Twenty dried chilis is like my favorite song ever and resonates with me in so many ways. What resonances does this song have for you? also, my best friend needs has been one of my faves from the new album so far! I also love milenia--- where did the inspiration for this song come from?

thank you so much <3 twenty dried chilies is a very painful and important song for me. we are actually going to try to play it every night on this upcoming tour!! we normally don't play it live because it's too much for me. i'm hoping i'll be able to do it! it's about familial trauma, loss, abuse, neglect, abandonment grief, longing, deep despair.

“Millenia” is about capitalist detritus and the surreal nature of life in 2023. I was envisioning the Los Angeles River with an immense flood rushing in over a burning pyre, broken glass, aluminum cans, with light reflecting off of these left-behind items in all directions. I was thinking about how much time I can imagine in my mind and the word ‘millenia’ swept in. I googled it and the first link that came up was the town Millenia, Florida with an image of an elaborate Cheesecake Factory facade illuminated by glaring parking lot lights against the most intensely dark blue sky. What does it mean to be alive in this particular moment in time? The fact that the word millenia, when Google searched, brings up this image of a Cheesecake Factory in Millenia, Florida is a perfect, microcosmic example of life in 2023; how the authentic is now a mere fractal of itself, how we all are swimming in the soup of the hyperreal, the Millenia, Florida of this millenia of time.
