A new video for the solstice

HERE IT IS!!!! A rare treat to the masterful artistry of Zach Von Joo, done all in film and super 8. Click play!

Video release

I am so grateful that someone as talented as Zach Von Joo has made a video for one of my songs, and I can't wait to celebrate! We're doing that at The Lost Church in San Francisco on June 20th, the video will be made public that night at midnight. Local faves Bramble and Briar are opening, and Zach will be doing film projections during my set. 

It's a dream, it's strange, it's made in film and super 8 and goes with the song beautifully. Zach has worked on a number of other local music projects, including collaborations with Hannah Lew of Grass Widow. You can see some of his personal work on his vimeo channel. Here are a few stills :

The song is The Deer Convention, the title track of my last album.

Yay!

On happiness and feminism

"For me, trying to be happy on my own terms is part of being a feminist. Women are constantly under attack. Whether it's with awful shoes or the idea that we shouldn't aim too high. We should all aim for absolute, sovereign happiness always."
