Latest / Ghost Cult Magazine Podcast / Eivør Discusses Her album "ENN" - Creativity, and Touring
Transcript
- 0:00I always want to kind of dive deeper into certain things from
- 0:04the last album I create maybe, you know, so there's maybe some
- 0:08element on that album that kind of leads me onwards to the next
- 0:13chapter. And then I want to dive deeper
- 0:15into that particular feeling or, or element.
- 0:20So it's, it's like, you know, once one album leads to the next
- 0:26one and they're never, they're never the same world entirely.
- 0:36What's up everybodyitskefi@ghostcultman.com
- 0:39I am super stoked to be joined by the international acclaimed
- 0:44recording artist and performer Avor.
- 0:46I hope I said that correctly, yes.
- 0:48That was. Good.
- 0:49Oh, I practice so much and the Internet is divided about the
- 0:53correct pronunciation, so I did a lot of like.
- 0:56I tried really hard, so I'm glad.
- 0:59That was really good. I suffer with like a pro.
- 1:02Oh really? Oh that's really nice.
- 1:03I appreciate you go on my bucket list of things to do.
- 1:06Learn some Scandinavian languages.
- 1:09I would love to learn Icelandic. It's a beautiful language.
- 1:12Huge fan of Souls to Fear and these these songs make me want
- 1:15to cry and I only sort of know what they're about.
- 1:19With like 3 songs in English in 1520 years.
- 1:21So any who lovely to meet you. Lovely to meet you.
- 1:25Too Yeah, of course, congratulations on just all your
- 1:28successes and in particular, you know that since the release of
- 1:31end last year and you signing, you've been a DIY independent
- 1:35artist for so long and then you come into kind of, you know, the
- 1:38metal adjacent world. Let metal metalheads seem to
- 1:41love Norse folk music for some reason.
- 1:43It it's something probably the primalness of it and and just
- 1:47the you know, coming back to earth I think is a very
- 1:50spiritual and strong thing for metalheads.
- 1:52So we love you know, here it goes cold.
- 1:54Also, we love Lagruna and we love high Lung and we love
- 1:58Midland and all these different artists from across the world
- 2:01that do this kind of music and pay homage to the, these, you
- 2:04know, these the stories. I, I think lore is the correct
- 2:08word. I know different people bristle
- 2:12mythology is not accurate. So it's like, you know this,
- 2:15that, you know, it's the same thing when I speak to my, my
- 2:18dear friends from Finland, you know, the, you know, some of
- 2:21these things are, it's their, it's their whole culture is
- 2:24built from this. And so it's not just stories to
- 2:26them. It's really important.
- 2:28So I, I want to give that reverence in that respect.
- 2:30And and you recently just toured America with another favorite of
- 2:34our Sylvain, but we interviewed last year.
- 2:36And I just have to extend a tremendous word of thanks to the
- 2:39label and to you to letting us come out and cover that show in
- 2:42Brooklyn. Our own Jamie Sherwood wrote him
- 2:44a marvellous write up and I know she's still kind of buzzing from
- 2:47the show because we and the photos were divine and
- 2:51phenomenal. And it's really great to capture
- 2:54you live because I think that's, you know, I feel like it's two
- 2:57separate Adams composer these albums.
- 3:00And then the live performance I think is really special and
- 3:02unique. Thank you.
- 3:03There's a big build up there to no question particularly.
- 3:08Well, let's yeah, this is our first time meeting, so let's
- 3:11let's roll it back just a little bit.
- 3:13I know you've basically been making music most of your life,
- 3:15but if you had a, you know, the the story of your life was being
- 3:20written, how would it start? And when did music come to you?
- 3:23And then when did you want to make music?
- 3:25Those are the questions I wanted to start with.
- 3:27Oh. That's, that's a good start.
- 3:30Well, I always, as a kid, I always really, really loved
- 3:36singing and it was such a big part of my upbringing.
- 3:39Like in my family, there's always been a lot of singing and
- 3:43storytelling. And it's a big part of fairy's
- 3:46culture as well to, you know, in social events you sing together
- 3:50and you do the chain dances and, and all those things.
- 3:54And so it, it was always like a part of my life and felt natural
- 3:59for me to, to be singing. And when I then and as a girl, I
- 4:04would sing and you know, I loved it and I would sing to every
- 4:08event in my family, birthday parties and stuff like that.
- 4:13And then I think I started writing music when I was about
- 4:16like 12 years old or so. That's when I like South the
- 4:22need to write my own music slowly.
- 4:24And, and then just from there on, I started playing, you know,
- 4:28in some local garage bands in, in my village.
- 4:32And it was just, I was just so drawn to music as far as I can
- 4:38remember. And, and it just never left me
- 4:42somehow. It was just kind of an obsession
- 4:44to me to be making music and to be creating music, and I just
- 4:50felt very drawn to it and very curious to kind of dive deeper
- 4:56and deeper and deeper into it. And so I went on a journey many,
- 5:00many years ago and I'm still trying to figure it out.
- 5:05So yeah. Well said.
- 5:06I do feel like like learning in general is a lifelong, you know,
- 5:11process. You never really know
- 5:12everything. I know people who are subject
- 5:14matter experts all over the world that I fancy myself as an
- 5:18expert on music of different styles.
- 5:20And then I'm always learning and there's always something new to
- 5:22go and grow on. And then so, and I love that
- 5:26you, you know, you started early and you started writing your own
- 5:28music early. You know, there's a definite
- 5:30bridge point as a young adult, I think, where you go from like,
- 5:33Oh, I can do this professionally.
- 5:35I don't know if you attended like Conservatory or anything
- 5:38because you're, you know, your voice is amazing and you know
- 5:41your composition is Immaculate for all the projects you worked
- 5:44on. So I wonder if you were
- 5:46professionally, classically trained or just kind of grew on
- 5:49your own? Well, from my childhood up until
- 5:53I was 17, when I finished school, like 9th grade, I
- 5:58decided to go to Iceland to study classical singing.
- 6:01And that was a quite spontaneous decision because there were no
- 6:05like music schools or, or singing lessons to get in the
- 6:10Faroe Islands, where I'm from. So I met this incredible teacher
- 6:14from Iceland who came to the Faroe Islands and she invited me
- 6:18to come check out their school in Reykjavik.
- 6:21And I did that and I stayed there for five years and I
- 6:25studied classical singing and made a a few albums while I was
- 6:29there and gathered a band. And it was just a a beautiful
- 6:33experience to kind of get into a new community of musicians and
- 6:38to get singing lessons. I was, I was very hungry for
- 6:42that at that point. So, yeah, and, and classical
- 6:46music, it was quite random that it was classical music, but IIA
- 6:51classical singing school that was not like something that I
- 6:55had been thinking about so much. It's just happened to be this,
- 7:00this wonderful singing teacher who kind of opened up that door
- 7:04and, and I was very curious about it.
- 7:07So and it, and it was a wonderful time to kind of, you
- 7:11know, get to know your voice a bit better and on maybe in a
- 7:15different way than you're used to, to you sing it because I was
- 7:19required to. I, I just learned to sing from
- 7:22my mom, who, who has a beautiful voice and, and loves to sing,
- 7:26you know, in the kitchen and in the shower and, and we would
- 7:30sing together a lot. But it was, it was nice to kind
- 7:34of get it get into like a a new perspective of singing at that
- 7:39point. Right on.
- 7:40I, I think it's, you know, very crucial to say that it's very
- 7:44important to have encouraging mentors.
- 7:46I know a lot of others we talked about like, you know, one person
- 7:49that was like very foundational. I'm glad you found your person
- 7:52to help you with that journey because I also have a similar
- 7:57background and music school. Some teachers were really
- 8:00wonderful and patient and encouraging and trying to push
- 8:03you in the right way. And then other teachers are just
- 8:05horrendous and very mean and weirdly centered on not helping
- 8:11his children. You know, I always say you have
- 8:13to judge the talent of a child or a young person and even a
- 8:16young adult slowly because we're not formed yet.
- 8:19Our brains are not formed, Our bodies are not formed, Our
- 8:22instruments are not really there.
- 8:24And, and classical music and chamber music and opera and all
- 8:28these things that I also had a focus on really challenging for
- 8:31an adult who's already been working in the field a long
- 8:35time, let alone a teenager or a young.
- 8:38Person. Yeah, yeah, right.
- 8:39Who? Is also like an emotional
- 8:41tornado every day. So, you know, I'm really glad
- 8:44you had somebody really encouraging and and nurturing
- 8:47there for you. That sounds great.
- 8:49And probably how you got to that all makes sense to me now, like
- 8:52how you got to be where you are now.
- 8:54That's great. Oh, that's wonderful.
- 8:56Yeah. I mean, I was so curious about
- 8:59the voice and I wanted to do crazy things with my voice,
- 9:02Like, not like beautiful opera singing.
- 9:05I wanted to do like scuffle stuff and, you know, all kinds
- 9:08of, of sounds. And this opera teacher that I
- 9:12had, she was so incredible. She would allow me to kind of
- 9:16explore with these things, but with the technique of classical
- 9:21singing, which was an incredible discovery for me that, oh shit,
- 9:27OK, I don't have to like be an opera singer to study classical
- 9:31music. I, I can, I'm just learning and
- 9:34exploring my voice. So that was and I still visit
- 9:37her when I go to Iceland. She's she's totally my my Mama
- 9:41still my singing Mama. Oh I love that so much.
- 9:45That's great. Out of curiosity.
- 9:47She's on front row for all my shows.
- 9:49Oh, that's great. And.
- 9:50Stuff she's. Like so glad I'm so give.
- 9:52Me. Good critique afterwards.
- 9:54Oh nice, I'm still. She's very strict.
- 9:58Some of them have to be out of. Yeah, Out of curiosity, you have
- 10:01a favorite opera or piece of classical music or chamber music
- 10:05that you that stayed with you all these years?
- 10:08Oh my goodness, not really. It was it was more like, it was
- 10:14more like just the the discipline and the the technique
- 10:19that I was so focused on. I didn't really dive so much
- 10:22into off bra itself. So so I was just, I mean, it was
- 10:27much more just about the the tools for me.
- 10:30But and I always loved more like much older, like classical
- 10:36stuff, you know, Renaissance sounding stuff.
- 10:40And that was what I was very into at that point.
- 10:44But yeah, I enjoy the classical music every now and then.
- 10:48And. I mean, Maria Carlos and you
- 10:50know, my favorite singer is is called Umassuma and from Peru.
- 10:55And she was kind of classically trained as well, but blends it
- 10:59with other techniques. So yeah.
- 11:02Nice. I was going to say.
- 11:04And then as obviously you got into creating your own style of
- 11:07music, so you pull from all these different things.
- 11:09You have this training, you have this music from, you know, this,
- 11:12you know, your childhood and your homeland and you know, the
- 11:15surrounding region that obviously has a pull on you, but
- 11:19also you are totally a risk taker.
- 11:21I love that you will experiment with different styles of songs
- 11:25and incorporate different things.
- 11:26I think it's really made you very unique and your music
- 11:29stands out from everybody else that's related.
- 11:32You know, you always see like a you know, for fans of or you
- 11:35know, whatever music service is trying to like suggested for
- 11:38you, but no one really sounds like you and you don't really
- 11:41sound like anyone else, which is really, in this day and age, a
- 11:44gift for real. Thank you.
- 11:46That's a beautiful compliment. Thank you so much.
- 11:49Well, I mean, I think it it matters to you.
- 11:52You can tell when you listen to your records like and with
- 11:54immediately like, Oh, this is phenomenal and it doesn't sound
- 11:57like your other records and it doesn't know single, not too
- 12:00many. It sounds like you, but none of
- 12:02the tracks are really sound repetitive or oh, that sounds
- 12:06like that. Not really.
- 12:07A little bit here and there, but not really.
- 12:09I think, you know, it's clear that you care about song craft
- 12:13and it matters to you how the listener, you know, enjoys a
- 12:16record and the whole journey of record makes sometimes not just
- 12:19a bunch of songs for you. I know that I can tell.
- 12:23No, I think for every album, it's in my head like like a
- 12:26world or, or something. And, and for every new album I
- 12:30make, it's, it's always a new journey or a new chapter
- 12:34somehow, something that I want to dive deeper into.
- 12:37And I think as I've, I've matured in, in the creation of,
- 12:44you know, in the creativity of, of music, I, I always want to
- 12:48kind of dive deeper into certain things from the last album I
- 12:53create. Maybe, you know, so there's
- 12:55maybe some element on that album that kind of leads me onwards to
- 12:59the next chapter. And then I want to dive deeper
- 13:03into that particular feeling or, or element.
- 13:07So it's, it's like, you know, once one album leads to the next
- 13:13one and they're never, they're never the same world entirely.
- 13:17Yeah, of course. And then I was going to say also
- 13:19we alluded to this earlier about when you perform these songs
- 13:22live or in general live performance for you and and your
- 13:26connection to the audience. I, I think it's very interesting
- 13:30that, you know, we, we're kind of in a place where recorded
- 13:33music is so prevalent. It's everywhere and it's, which
- 13:36is wonderful. The availability of music is
- 13:38wonderful, but I think like the live is still an important
- 13:41thing. I urge people to go to shows.
- 13:43I'm like, just get out to a show once in a while if it's not for
- 13:47you, even if it's not for you, because I think there's a
- 13:49special connection and I think it's interesting.
- 13:51Like maybe a record is finished when it's out, but the
- 13:53performance element of it is never really finished.
- 13:56As a famous person, I like to quote all the time says the
- 13:59music's not really done because then it comes on to stage and
- 14:02it's interpreted every. Completely.
- 14:05Differently so I figured that might be, you know, sort of a
- 14:08thing for you to also, you know, build on.
- 14:11Totally. I I so I'm so feeling you on
- 14:14that because it's a, you know, you make an album and it's like
- 14:18you create like the, the songs and the, and the sounds.
- 14:21But then you go live, you play it live in front of the audience
- 14:26and something completely new happens because you have the
- 14:29listener who is just as important for that live moment.
- 14:34And it kind of adds a different dimension, I think to the music,
- 14:38which if you're open and if you keep it open and playful, can
- 14:43kind of sometimes really change the songs because it puts just a
- 14:47new energy into the songs. And, and I like to to be very
- 14:54aware of that and open to kind of taking songs that I've
- 14:58recorded to take them in a new direction live because it feels
- 15:03right, you know? So I really enjoy playing live
- 15:07and sharing music with people in the moment.
- 15:10That's like probably my favorite thing in the whole world.
- 15:13Amazing a lot of people are you know, prolific artists and
- 15:17you've you've been putting out music at a clip for a very long
- 15:19time. But also I think, like I said,
- 15:21live, I think another element is, is why it's such a wonderful
- 15:25pairing with you and Sylvain, because I'm attracted to I.
- 15:28Love her so. Much.
- 15:29She's so great. It's and she's so nice.
- 15:31We had such a long time. Most wonderful person.
- 15:34She's really fantastic. And again, because we were, you
- 15:37know, as I mentioned offline, we are originally founded in the
- 15:40Netherlands and we covered a lot of, you know, Scandinavian
- 15:44artists for a long time and a lot of Norse folk and Pagan
- 15:46artists for so long. It's really part of our DNA And
- 15:50you know, we so we followed you for a very long time.
- 15:52We followed, I know it's journey with Ortruna and soundtrack
- 15:56work, which you'd also very familiar with, of course.
- 15:58And Sylvain also, we identified her really early on, like, oh,
- 16:03we have to pay a lot of attention to to her.
- 16:06She's wonderful and but you're a storyteller as is she, which is
- 16:10why I think that pairing is so fantastic.
- 16:12And I think you're a natural storyteller, not just in your
- 16:15music, but live again. And I think it's important, you
- 16:18know, I, I feel a sense of importance that comes from you
- 16:22trying to get the audience to get on your wavelength and
- 16:24understand these songs at a deeper level than just like, I'm
- 16:28here to make music, which, you know, so it's OK if some people
- 16:30are, you know, a punk rock band is just there to be punk rock
- 16:33and make music, but like, think there's some other types of
- 16:36music that really, you know, you have to speak to people a little
- 16:39more directly. Yes, yes, yeah.
- 16:41I, I enjoy that like to just, I mean to, to kind of because I'm
- 16:46singing in, in a language that not many people understand.
- 16:49Sometimes I enjoy to kind of like to give people just an idea
- 16:54of what I'm singing about. It doesn't have to be too
- 16:57literal, but it's important for me to leave space for people to
- 17:00dream, you know, in my songs and to create their own, you know,
- 17:05world out of them. But I like to give them some
- 17:08clues sometimes. I like now we're going, you
- 17:11know, to the wild sea. Let's go.
- 17:16And then people can, you know, create their own like, version
- 17:19of what that means. So yeah, it's about
- 17:22storytelling. But but managing to to kind of
- 17:25keep also like an open door for people to to dream away in, I
- 17:31think. Lovely.
- 17:32I couldn't say that any better. That was amazing.
- 17:35Just a few more questions for you.
- 17:37I'll get back to the live stuff in a second because I do want to
- 17:40focus on your upcoming tours now that you're back from the
- 17:43States, and we love having you. And please come back again
- 17:46sometime. I know.
- 17:47It's Oh my God, I loved it it. Was really that's great.
- 17:50I know it's a tough time right now in the world for traveling
- 17:53things like that in the music industry is, you know, very
- 17:55pricey for an artist, especially, you know, an an
- 17:59underground artist or an independent artist, even though
- 18:01you played major venues. So I'm glad you had a great
- 18:03experience. That makes me really happy to
- 18:06hear because we're always trying.
- 18:07To. Touring and concerts and
- 18:09festivals. That's wonderful.
- 18:10Yeah. I really enjoy, enjoyed meeting,
- 18:13you know, my audience in America.
- 18:14I was beautiful. Moments that I will cherish for
- 18:18a long time. And I can't wait to go back and
- 18:22play there. Hopefully you know in not too
- 18:24long. I imagine so.
- 18:25And you have a huge tour coming up.
- 18:27You just have a little break at back at home for a little while
- 18:30and then you're on tour right now.
- 18:32I'm on tour right now. Right now I'm in Copenhagen and
- 18:36tomorrow we're going to Germany. So we're like, yeah, I'm
- 18:39traveling with Highland right now, so.
- 18:41And we are playing a show almost every night and.
- 18:45They are some of the best people also, we are.
- 18:47They're wonderful. We are very fortunate to say
- 18:50that they're actually friends of ours, not just artists we would
- 18:52admire and respect. We spent a lot of time with them
- 18:55personally and professionally and you know, I can only say the
- 18:59highest and kindest things about them as people.
- 19:01Yeah, they are wonderful people, good travel companions to have.
- 19:06Oh, super interesting and smart too.
- 19:08So of course, like, you know, you want to have a conversation
- 19:11to go to the museum or just relax and chill and just, you
- 19:14know, have a cool vibes. I bet they're a lot of fun.
- 19:17Yeah, I'm always fascinated how they managed to, you know, keep
- 19:22such a big travel company, you know, in such good balance.
- 19:26You know, they're like 30 people and there's always just good
- 19:30vibes in in the group and that's really cool.
- 19:33Well, I'm very fond of saying it's the music business and not
- 19:36the music friendship, but I've seen their whole crew and
- 19:39basically everyone is exempt. Like really lovely.
- 19:42So, you know, I don't, I don't think they have a bad apple
- 19:45among them from the bit of time I've spent around them.
- 19:48Because sometimes you get people or you come to America and you
- 19:51have an American tour manager or some, you know, American crew
- 19:54and there's some vibes. Maybe they're on, maybe they're
- 19:56off. You never know.
- 19:57But when we were around them, both here and in Europe, they
- 20:00were. Amazing, great people.
- 20:02Yeah, very sweet. And I don't know if you're open
- 20:05to if anything is announced for the rest of the year, but I
- 20:08imagine you're very busy once the tour is over also.
- 20:11Yeah. I mean, we're finishing this
- 20:13tour now. We're like, we have a month to
- 20:16go, we have a little break soon and then we will continue this,
- 20:21this tour with Highland in, in April and and then in, in the
- 20:26fall. I have a big tour coming off in
- 20:28Europe, a headline tour in Europe.
- 20:31So, so it does, I mean, these past two years have been mainly
- 20:35about touring for me and I've really like enjoyed coming to
- 20:39all these beautiful places and sharing live moments with
- 20:43people. I'm yeah, I'm very grateful to
- 20:45be able to do that. So that's where the music
- 20:48belongs. You know, it kind of when you
- 20:51play live, you feel that. Oh shit.
- 20:53Yeah, I remember why I do it. Phenomenal.
- 20:55Yeah. I, I totally relate as a fan and
- 20:58A and a Music Maker also. I I definitely relate to that.
- 21:01Out of curiosity, I imagine at some point in the future, you
- 21:05know, you maybe maybe you write all the time, maybe you collect
- 21:08ideas, all, you know, all the while.
- 21:10But I wonder, is it separate for you to compose for yourself
- 21:13versus another project? Is it, does it all start the
- 21:17same for you with voice and instrumentation or do you have a
- 21:20different process for, let's say, soundtracks and things like
- 21:23that versus your own music? Yeah, I think.
- 21:25I think the process is very different for me because for a
- 21:29project, for example, like the work I did with The Last
- 21:33Kingdom, it's very specific and it's, you know, write music for
- 21:37this scene, and this scene has to, you know, reflect this
- 21:42emotion and all that. So it's very specific and you
- 21:45sit down and you work with that particular scene.
- 21:48When I work on my my own music, it's it's much more of AI don't
- 21:52want to say struggle, but it can be you.
- 21:54You have to kind of rip your heart out and see what put it
- 21:58back together and see what's there, you know, see what's
- 22:01missing. And it's, it's kind of a
- 22:03different process, I think with my, my own music.
- 22:06And it's, and that's something I, I, which is in my head all
- 22:11the time, no matter if I'm, I'm touring or whether I'm home or
- 22:15whether I'm going for a walk, it's always in my head.
- 22:18Like we're always looking for a song.
- 22:21And once I find that song or find the idea, I, there's always
- 22:25a long way to go from there to kind of shape it into what it's
- 22:29supposed to be or something. So that's more of a like a
- 22:33forever project, while the side projects are are more Yeah,
- 22:38yeah, a different process for sure.
- 22:40But but I enjoy both so much. And for me, working on on film
- 22:44music was such a relief. Not a relief, but it was such a,
- 22:50I found so much freedom in it because at the same time as it
- 22:53is very specific what you're doing, you also have a lot of
- 22:57freedom within that frame to kind of float around and, and
- 23:02cinema music is, is all about the emotion.
- 23:05It's not so much about a literal story or because the story is
- 23:09already told on the screen. You just have to add the
- 23:12feeling, the feeling and the emotions to it.
- 23:15And I've really enjoyed that. Fantastic.
- 23:17And of course it's again a different a different side of
- 23:20you. And then you go back to your own
- 23:21music and you can express different points.
- 23:23I draw. I draw inspiration a lot from
- 23:26these side projects that I've done from both to the video game
- 23:29music and film music. And I, I can, I can sense a lot
- 23:34of elements from that in the mute right for my albums also.
- 23:39So it's it kind of overlaps as well.
- 23:41Amazing. I hope you get to do more of it.
- 23:43I hope I'm looking forward to more of it in the future.
- 23:45I can't imagine based on the success of some of these
- 23:48projects that you won't be invited to do more.
- 23:50And, you know, I know it's not the only focus of your career,
- 23:55but it's, it's it's surely welcomed.
- 23:58Out of curiosity, this is something I, I've been meaning
- 24:00to ask you. We've had a lot of, you know,
- 24:02been fortunate to interview a lot of artists all over the
- 24:04world. I feel like the Faroe Islands
- 24:07are very misunderstood in the rest of the world.
- 24:09You know, we've had some interviews and some great
- 24:11interactions with, you know, tier and bands like that.
- 24:15But I feel like the outside world, we don't really
- 24:18understand the country or the culture too well, other than
- 24:22it's related to their neighbors. And I don't know if you're, I
- 24:27hope you're out, you know, I feel like maybe you're helping
- 24:30to, you know, put a good foot forward and just demystify the
- 24:34the country and the culture for some people.
- 24:36But I just have always felt that like, you know, when people
- 24:38speak about it, I'm not sure if they know what they're talking
- 24:40about if they're not from there. Yeah, yeah.
- 24:43Well, you never know, you know, before you've experienced
- 24:49something, you have to like experience things to, to fully
- 24:52understand them or, or know them.
- 24:54But I guess that, you know, the, the Feral Islands is where I
- 24:58grew up and I've always been very like fairways, for example.
- 25:04Fairways, folk music and stuff like that is such a big part of,
- 25:08of my inner soundscape. And it's something that I
- 25:11unconsciously, you know, draw inspiration from.
- 25:14And also the, the landscape and the people and everything.
- 25:17So it's, it's just a part of you.
- 25:19And yeah, it's a part of what you create, whether you do it
- 25:24consciously or not. But I don't see myself as
- 25:28someone who's trying to promote a country or anything.
- 25:31I'm just an artist who likes to create music.
- 25:34But obviously you, the place you come from, is some kind of root
- 25:39of your tree, so. So it's an important source of
- 25:42inspiration for me for sure. Awesome.
- 25:45I love to end these interviews with a wild card question, and I
- 25:48try to pick one out specifically for everyone.
- 25:50So I racked my brain and went through a list of things that I
- 25:54always ask. And I wanted to ask you, do you
- 25:56have a favorite book of your life that you can return to and
- 26:00read over and over? And you have a favorite or
- 26:02something on the shelf? When you read it, it has a
- 26:04memory to you that can't. You can't erase something like
- 26:07that. I recently read such a great
- 26:13book. I read it so quickly, but what
- 26:16was it called? That's what sucks about me.
- 26:19I forget things. I read something and I'm like,
- 26:21oh, I love this. And then I move on.
- 26:24And then, you know, but yeah, I don't know.
- 26:27I, I really enjoy reading poetry.
- 26:29I read more poetry than I read like actual books.
- 26:33I wish I read more books. And it's always on my list.
- 26:36Like next year I'm going to read more books.
- 26:39But I enjoy poetry. And recently, oh, recently, I
- 26:44bought like a Patti Smith biography, which I'm really
- 26:48excited to read because I heard so much good stuff about that
- 26:51one. And I enjoy reading Nick Cave's
- 26:56poetry books, Elena Cohen's poetry books, and many more and
- 27:01I'm trying to remember that. Fuck, why was it called?
- 27:04You have to edit this out. Whatever you need, we make
- 27:09everybody look good here at Ghost Cold.
- 27:10I'm taking too long right now. It's OK, it's OK.
- 27:13I've got you on the spot. I've done it before.
- 27:16Believe me. There's harder ones that you
- 27:17would be mad at that I didn't. OK, don't.
- 27:20Do it. Like often easy one at the same
- 27:22time. That's the magic of not giving
- 27:25the questions in advance. Most of the time I'm able to do
- 27:29that. So you're fantastic.
- 27:30I appreciate you. And don't you know if it comes
- 27:32to you, you can always have Will I'll.
- 27:34Call you. You can call me.
