Биография

“Get Z To A Nunnery,” out July 10th, is a sort of gothic-romantic femme-fatale folk record; it’s chamber-pop with a bit of grit and a healthy dose of tragedy. It’s a little bit Francoise Hardy...a little bit Dusty Springfield on drugs...a little bit Nico without them. It’s a quiet and ethereally beautiful presentation of pain - psychedelic ASMR pocket symphonies about the scars left by wildness and love and death and drugs and loss and growing up much too fast. She was assisted in recording by a cast of musical LA luminaries… Producer Ethan Gruska, haunts the record with his signature delicate piano playing and backwards Kaleidaloop ghosts. The string charts of Patrick Warren (Fiona Apple, Lana Del Rey, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits) essentially serve as the backing band. The inimitable guitar playing of Blake Mills sneaks in every now and again. The haunting harmonies of Phoebe Bridgers and Madison Cunningham are also featured, just to twist the knife a little bit more. And it all ends with a tragic, autobiographical Christmas duet with longtime musical collaborator Ryan Ross. Get Z to a Nunnery is as much of a record as it is a mission statement. It’s a collection of songs written over the course of chaotic years that always seemed like borrowed time. It is both small and uncontainable. With its wistful tragedy, its graceful unease, its listless love, and its resigned existential dread, it may just be the perfect music for the moment…the perfect soundtrack to the end of the world.
