the cinema comes out a week today & u can presave now ( which i greatly appreciate ) :’D 2 EVERY ARTIST DANCER WRITER POET WHO FEELS A FUNNY FEELING SEEING OTHER PEOPLE MAKE ART THEY LOVE. i am so excited for this song to come out it is resentful and bittersweet and honest and it came from total creative despair. i’ve been able to bring some of my favourite people and producers into this song to get it perfect thanku jim-e stack & emile haynie i love u this has been a rollercoaster of a song but my god i can’t wait for u to have this version u are all invited to the cinema #newmusic #originalmusic #femaleproducer

a song i made about walking home alone at night as a girl and funny feelings about being watched by men and by god and wondering if you’d be saved. sung from a church. irony isn’t lost. love u #newmusic #singersongwriter #originalmusic #femaleproducer

this song was a true labour of love i ached when i wrote it i ached as i made it and the process was obsessive and perfectionist and fulfilling and wonderful and painful and it’s everything the song embodies so thanku love u #newmusic #singersongwriter #femaleproducer #behindthesong

sometimes it just feels good to sing loudly with your heart and chest and aaaaching i haven’t done that lately and i think this is the right song for it #ethelcain #cover

i wrote this today & it’s more of a diary entry than a tease or anything. just because flying cars gave me a heavy heart i guess #newmusic #singersongwriter

the question of my life is did i do something wrong therefore marble arch is the song of my life . there is no answer to that question ! #newmusic #femaleproducer

one year of machine ghost. i wrote and produced this song that felt like aching to me, trying whatever you can to make yourself feel something even if it hurts and it somehow has only grown in how special it is to me. i used to think shows and performing these songs would make me feel even more out of my body but it’s actually the time i feel most myself and the most at home. i am so grateful for one year of one of my most prized and proud creations being out and thankful for the love and care you have shown it, how you have shouted it back to me, thanku. u are far more than just a daughter and a body people watch and then get bored of #livemusic #ontour

this is 808 hymn. i love this song and i love the girls and the non girls who walk home alone hoping the moon protects them. i’m in the city of angels right now and the moon is guiding me. i’m feeling intense and creative i think it’s growing pains #newmusic #singersongwriter

this is how i look at people i know didn’t grow up eating at the table sorry for staring #singersongwriter #femaleproducer

wait til the end for a surprise. this is called machine ghost. it’s about dissociating

i play primavera next year. i filmed this for fun before i left home the other week & i didn’t know at that point i’d be playing m with phoebe headlining. heart could burst. if you’ve been here a while u will know that’s very significant to me. i feel like the universe is giving me little clues all the time lately #phoebebridgers #cover

hello did u miss me ? i’ve been out of my routine and freaking out about it but attending fashion shows which is lovely. i am hard to love and i’m in paris for fashion week and i begin a whole new adventure tomorrow. guess where im going if u dare #newmusic #singersongwriter

this is called don’t you see me trying this is me singing my heart out on a staircase about self sabotage which is a tongue twister and a mind twister. i leave for paris tomorrow and then i’m going on a long winding adventure which is beautiful and scary and exciting. big feelings. u can try and guess where im heading if ur feeling psychic #livemusic #singersongwriter

i choose to believe it’s witchcraft. im half kidding btw. music is magic. magical frequencies manifesting in a physical form. thanku im so grateful to see people with physical music i’ve made in their hands. it’s four years today since i put my first song out, one of the first things i ever wrote and produced myself as a teenager and i dreamt of stuff like this. thanku from the bottom of my heart #newmusic #singersongwriter

this is called alice. i don’t know if this is a niche experience but i don’t think it is so i wrote a song about it. wishing u a beautiful full moon from me and the piano #singersongwriter #newmusic

this is called don’t you see me trying. i very much see u trying. a lot of time at the piano lately which has been fruitful #newmusic #singersongwriter #femaleproducer

i have many emails from my nine year old self and i am sentimental at the thought of her knowing people liked these words so i wanted to sing them again. feeling lucky to have a digital diary of what was happening in my head all those years ago, i’m digging out some more for u #femaleproducer #singersongwriter

i used to write emails to myself when i was around nine years old as some kind of digital diary for note keeping / songwriting or story ideas and other thoughts i had in my head and i found them all recently. there’s lots of them. i decided to make a song out of some of them for fun. maybe i’ll make this a series. what shall we call this one #femaleproducer #singersongwriter

this is my self sabotage song. and my party dress !!!!!!!! :D #newmusic #singersongwriter #femaleproducer

a song about being scared of the future and feeling apathetic about the world around you but living despite it because all we have is what we owe to each other at the end of the day. art and resistance and love r the most human things we have #newmusic #singersongwriter

this is betty and marble arch is her favourite song. i don’t wanna be cold anymore. happy marble arch monday love u and i love betty more than life itself #newmusic

this is a song i made called don’t you see me trying and this is my emotional support deer #livemusic #singersongwriter

happy one year to this song, 808 hymn, i’m back in the shed on my microphone :’D it feels good to be home. a song i wrote and produced about walking home alone that i have had the privilege of screaming at the top of our lungs together this last year. i wrote it after walking home from a club on a night out as a girl who insists on walking most places feeling inebriated and slightly sad and covered in glitter and still able to hear the music from inside the building behind me thudding and my impractical shoes click clacking. i realised at some point on the walk that i might be being followed and i did the natural response that most girls learn when they’re young which is keys between fist, just in case, pretend to be on the phone. i felt wobbly in my shoes and i felt embarrassed of the clothes i was wearing and my heart was beating so hard it reminded me of the way your chest rattles when an 808 bass blasts on the speaker in the club. i remember thinking to myself and making some kind of promise to any higher power that might be listening that if i safely made it home i would swear to be a better person, a more religious or spiritually aligned person, i would be eternally grateful, never take it for granted, trying to bargain with whatever i could, any god that might be watching. whilst thinking of higher powers i remembered looking at the moon when i was little, looking out the car window, feeling comforted that something so big and beautiful and familiar might be following me, like a companion making sure that i arrived home safely. it made me wonder when the perspective starts to shift, when you stop believing in all that wonder and fantasy and start looking behind you at night and asking what’s okay to wear when you leave the house. i felt betrayed that the moon that used to accompany me home was now just watching me fight for myself in the street and that hurt the worst #livemusic #singersongwriter

this is a song called alice it is about a girl i knew, a version of myself, love and addiction and losing yourself in something or someone and it is very close to my heart. i think about u often but i don’t want u back ! #singersongwriter #livemusic

happy national cinema weekend. to celebrate i bring u a song about imposter syndrome and fear of never living up to ur own impossible standards and crying in theatres. anyway what’s ur biggest fear #singersongwriter #livemusic #femaleproducer

i think certain kinds of love can save u even if it’s in a way of helping u to save urself and the collective love i feel singing this song with people really is an example of that #singersongwriter #livemusic

this is called don’t you see me trying and i would like to tell u i very much see u trying and we see each other trying and just because something is familiar doesn’t mean u have to go back and this is ur sign to not go back love u #singersongwriter #livemusic

this is my song called alice and i did some tarot for the eclipse which made me think about this card and the lyric i think about you often but i don’t want you back and i thought about the courage it takes to leave something behind and what it means to leave and grieve at the same time don’t know if anyone is feeling that this eclipse but i am sending my love to anyone who may #singersongwriter

this full moon eclipse i would like u to write on a piece of paper guilt won’t make u clean again guilt won’t make u clean again guilt won’t make u clean again over and over until u believe #livemusic

opening for an artist i adore at my dream festival is full circle and i am so grateful that there is so much love on the other side of fear. thanku i light up with joy when i see u front row singing along and seeing ur joy has allowed the scariest thing in the world has become the greatest thing in the world #lorde #allpointseast #livemusic
