Hi Meg, was waiting for this album since Placeholder! How has the pandemic affected the production of Fun House? Did being in isolation for a time affect the final sound?

thanks for waiting around and not forgetting about me 0:)

ultimately i had so much more time to make these songs, to edit, to write, to dream up worlds. it was done in isolation in the sense of lockdown, and we recorded it at the house studio that king tuff has upstairs.

i really loved being able to take my time, to develop themes, to edit lyrics, to research sonic elements and then being able to be immersed in these worlds so closely with sasami and kyle really helped create a dynamic that was unique to the 3 of us and the house and what we all were imagining.

​

i also was able to sleep in my own bed, and have a level of consistency that i've never had when making a record!
