hillarious prank: record an album over multiple years and be bad at school because writing songs is all you care to be good at and then drink half a glass of wine 30 minutes before it’s released and then just see what happens and what you feel and how close you get to crying

It took me four years to write this song and it only began to make sense after I fell in love with a girl for the first time. If you love someone, why wouldn’t you love the daily social maneuvering that makes them feel the most ok in the world? 💎

Cool Dry Place turned a year old. To celebrate we’ve recorded 2 covers we played on tour: “So Much Wine, Merry Christmas” (the Handsome Family) and “Bad Man” (Alex G). They’re both important to me and I’m glad they’re recorded with people I love xoxo etc

We finally made a video for Juniper! It is merely a music video (footage of me singing & looking nicer than I usually do) but there’s hints of themes such as intergenerational knowledge & the way your mom teaches you to put on mascara for the first time.
