Hi Nedelle! I'm a huge fan of your music, and I can't wait for your new album! Do you plan to ever do any music videos?
Thanks! I have one, and am planning on making another this summer- yip!

i noticed that in early versions of 'psychic returns' you sort of auto-tuned the part where you sing 'all feeling is born of contrast' and disguised it behind a bunch of la la las so i was totally surprised and delighted when you sang it out in your live sets.
Hi- We worked a lot on that part and I kind of regret how we sort of buried it. Oh well, whatareyougonnado
But um, early versions? Who are you, the album hasn’t even come out yet lol
Nedelle, I heard you played with Sufjan in the Old National Egyptian Room in Indy. I played there too when I was in high school! It was for a program called Bands of America and my school's Wind Ensemble played a suite called Armenian Dances by Alfred Reed. Isn't the Egyptian Room an amazing venue?
Yeah such a beautiful room! Reminds me too, of the Paramount Theater in Oakland. Regal. Exotic.
I <3 high school bands

Sorry to keep you waiting ; ) it’s been a long wait for me too. gawd.

Smile, it's just a theory!
I think all happiness depends on having the energy to assume the mask of some other self, that all joyous or creative life is a rebirth as something not oneself, something created in a moment and perpetually renewed in playing a game like that of a child where one loses the infinite pain of self-realization, a grotesque or solemn painted face put on that one may hide from the terrors of judgement, an imaginative Saturnalia that makes one forget reality. Perhaps all the sins and energies of the world are but the world’s flight from an infinite blinding beam. -Yeats
psychic returns is my favorite song right now, so cool
That is really awesome to hear, thank u

“What do I want, wanting to know the other?” What would happen if I decided to define you as a force and not as a person? And If I were to situate myself as another force confronting yours? This would happen: my other would be defined solely by the suffering or the pleasure he affords me.”
-Roland Barthes, “A Lover’s Discourse”

This song is similar-yet-different to my song “Change Your Mind” which I posted back on 7/27/12. Thought I’d throw it up too- Feat. Gabe Noel and Jeremy Gara.

reading the lyrics, i've grown even more excited for the album! it's like you gave the advice before i even asked the question. so, this is just a confession i guess. i have a hard time getting over past loves. the bee gees have a lyric that's like, "too many lovers in one lifetime ain't good for you." i feel like i've already had too many, even though i can count them on one hand.
I pretty much regret everyone I’ve ever been with… My hindsight in that regard is 20/20- meaning, I can see my past mistakes with perfect vision. I’d say be pickier- just say “no” until you feel something is really really real! This way you won’t accumulate bad memories! Nor heartache! And you will have more self-respect and integrity when the right person comes along. I love the Bee Gees! Have you heard that song “Please Read Me”? It’s from their earlier days. And Nina Simone does an incredible version too! xoxo
