pure xtc shares, ‘Last September, I was feeling extremely down. I hadn’t toured as much as I had planned. I felt like I wasn’t doing enough, and I was financially struggling. Being present amidst all of this felt like a Herculean task.’
She continues, ‘I took some time to just focus on being human without forcing any creative output. During that time, I was hanging out with a friend who was also navigating the challenges of being a young adult post-pandemic. We had a venting session, and when I asked about her weekend plans, she replied, “I’m just gonna rot in my apartment.” That hit me hard, I quickly jotted that line down in my notes app. When I finally returned to my studio, the first verse lyrics poured out of me, and the music quickly followed. I remember feeling that excitement and spark for music that I was so afraid I had lost. That euphoria helped me produce a handful of new songs that I’m beyond excited to release this year!’
pure xtc sharing stages with Fletcher, Jenny Lewis (from Rilo Kiley and The Postal Service), Dashboard Confessional, and others. You can see her live this April 27 in Brooklyn, NY, at The Woodshop, and April 28 in Baltimore, MD, at Metro Baltimore, with more to be announced.
