Mixtape: The Bend
Jangling fall-weather indie rock dipped in dreamy emotionally raw honey.
Liner Notes
The Bend is about how it started and how it’s going.
It’s about moving forward and looking back. The distance you’ve traveled and the distance you’ve created. The arc of time and the arc of people. What moves on, what remains, and what we’re left with.
It’s about nature and nurture. Growing up and growing gardens. It’s about the fall and the ways we fall. The ways we tend and mend, and turn and tangle.
It’s about witches. It’s about whiches. It’s about changes and switches. The masks that we craft, the faces we’re given.
It’s about beginnings and endings. Birth and rebirth. Death and reflection. It’s about childhood and motherhood and the meandering bridges between.
The Bend is about the infinity of femininity.
