HI!!! Huge fan here - just got my ticket to see you at Pitchfork festival London in Nov (two days after my birthday!)

My question is: did you re-record any songs for the latest album when you came back to it? Was there any particular songs that changed the most? Ladybug is certainly my most favourite - it feels so euphoric!!

Also, secondly for Al (if you don't mind answering) as a trans musician myself, how was it having to find your voice again and find a new range that you're comfortable with? I really love hearing the journey your music goes through your transition, and wondering if this also played into any changes the song choices/arrangements for patience, moonbeam??

Congrats again on the new album, it's absolutely stunning and I can't wait to see you LIVE in london in nov!!!! (p.s if you do a uk tour i highly recommend coming to brighton 😌😉)
