The U.S. Girls and Stars songwriters talk tape, intuition, and the unexpected magic of slowing down ahead of their respective new releases.
The end of the world might be looming, but according to indie-pop multi-instrumentalist Eve Parker Finley, it might not all be so bad. Based on a thought she had during the pandemic about people no longer being able to conceptualize a future, Finley offers an album full of reassurances that whatever’s coming, we’ll all face it together.
With lush string arrangements and classical interludes pushing up against dance-pop synths, Finley morphs into different characters to imagine futures that are as hopeful as possible, given the circumstances – regarding both our societal malaise and her own journey as a trans woman.
