Interview with petite tomboy discussing upcoming album “Psychic Scars” before February 1st release concert
ongs, I approached Sam Seymour, who I knew from studying music together at CU Denver, and we began playing together. Ethan Gould joined us on bass soon after that. Our sound has definitely evolved since then, and I think it’s continuing to do so. When I first started writing songs and playing shows, it was just me and an acoustic guitar. Gradually, the music evolved sonically as I developed a full band sound. The more I collaborate with Sam and Ethan, the more our influences merge, and the music grows to reflect that.
303: Let’s talk a bit about your upcoming album, Psychic Scars. What was the inspiration behind it, and how was the journey of creating this album for you and the band?
ENG: When I wrote Psychic Scars, I was in a particular, not-so-great place. I was trying to undo some hate that had been growing inside of me toward myself because of difficult experiences I was having. I felt like I was constantly upsetting people by being sad and wanted to stop. While writing the songs on Psychic Scars, it helped me realize that my emotions were valid instead of being a burden on the people around me. I wanted to share that with other people who might need to hear it too. The process of creating this album was challenging but so rewarding. I went back and forth a lot on whether or not I wanted to share these personal experiences with the world, but ultimately felt like it was worth it. The album itself represents growth, catharsis, and the beauty that can be found within our darkest personal experiences.
303: Finally, tell us about the album release show at the Marquis Theater on February 1st. What can fans expect from this show, and why is this particular event so important to you?
ENG: I’m so excited about the show at the Marquis Theater. We’re playing with some amazing local bands – Barking Melons, DAVY, and Json the Pilot. I’m looking forward to sharing our new music and the message of Psychic Scars with a live audience and celebrating this album that means so much to me. It’s a reflection of the struggles I faced and how I learned to love and heal myself through my music. I think it’s going to be a powerful night for everyone involved.
