Q: Hello!! Fan writing from Columbia South Carolina. A friend and I have been discussing a blossoming indie sleaze revival (Anonymous Blogging, Social media account deletion, cutting off nearly every single original hem of the band t-shirts in our closets), and I was wondering how you went about creating this website. This could be a phenomenon localized entirely within my friend group, but I've been kind of hunting for something similar to this for a while now, any tips would be LOVELY!
Do you have any particular writing process for songs? Your lyrics seem to just have this special quality to them that feels like you just uncovered them in the music itself; I can only imagine that that comes with years and years of practice and four-- soon to be five-- original albums, but if you had any breakthroughs in your perspective on writing while developing your skills that would be wonderful to read about.
Not to glamorize or put you on a pedestal, but I admire your lyrics for the way that the south is portrayed in an honest way. I find it to be absurdly common to have the south demonized in popular (and underground culture) and seeing your love for the south spill through in your lyrics hits home and it makes me feel like i'm not crazy for loving the south despite it's flaws. If u r ever in Columbia on a Friday or Saturday night, stop by New Brookland Tavern! It's a smallish music venue (about 300 cap?) that I run sound for sometimes.
P.s., do you have any hopes for a solo project in the future? Either music or another medium?
A: I just made this website with Squarespace! Neocities is another website building hub to try thatโs more accessible $ wise, although the learning curve seems steeper there. Thereโs website building stuff in the โResourcesโ tab of this website!
Iโve answered a few asks about my writing process on here! They should be archived under tags underneath posts like โprocessโ or โcreativityโ or โsongwritingโ etc. Iโll tag some of those categories on this post for easy access but hereโs a direct link to the song writing tag!

No plans for a solo project anytime soon, I love playing with my bandmates too much <3
I have been experimenting with writing in other mediums though, more info on that eventually!
