2022: In A Sunshine State

When the year began, the COVID-19 pandemic had begun to loosen its grip but the future was still cloudy. Would we be able to go places again in the summer? See our friends regularly? By the end of the year it felt largely, finally behind us. I got married this year. We honeymooned in California. I tabled at a zine fair for the first time in years and sold more zines than I had in ten years. I continued to make mixtapes for myself and co-host a weekly professional wrestling podcast with new episodes coming out every week. While Fallen Love might be buried, I still find artistic outlets where I can. No matter how the world changes, for better, for worse, I have my tent poles. Indiepop will always fuel me. Alternative comics. Old cartoon shows. My cats. My wife. A walk in the woods. A trip to the beach. They can't take that away from us. There are small joys all around you if you can find them.

Jenny Berkel releases new single 'Lavender City'

On the new single, ‘Lavender City’, from her upcoming album, These Are The Sounds Left From Leaving, Jenny Berkel examines the existence and effect of lies in a more intimate setting. With its crescendo-ing strings (Colin Nealis), insistent percussion–pushed forward primarily by the vibraphone–and harmonies (Kacy Anderson of Kacy & Clayton), ‘Lavender City’ is a breakup song about the moment the discrepancy between who somebody says they are and who somebody shows themselves to be becomes too great to ignore.

"Everything on this album is tinged with the madness of how language and information is being used in a post-Trump, heavily gaslit world where our perceptions of reality have become distorted,” says Berkel. ‘Lavender City’ is a “more intimate look at lies–it’s a breakup song about gaining the capacity to see more clearly again. But it’s also about looking beneath the lies to see what’s inside.”
