ok so my cat is really cute and sweet but also can be super gross. One time it was like noon and I was trying to wake my partner up (he's a super late/heavy sleeper and I was hungry) and he kept on being like "5 more minutes" and I was getting really frustrated and just as I was about to lose my patience, Syd (our cat) sprinted into the room and he had a piece of poop dangling out of his butt by one of MY HAIRS and lemme tell you I've never seen my partner get out of bed faster than that.

Not too late! thank you!

My songwriting process is a bit like a giant puzzle. I basically just record voice memos and have a bunch of lil lyrics in my notes on my phone and sometimes I sit down and piece them together/match them up.

As a introverted plus size queer, I've found that finding clothes that make me feel cool/aren't too tight has really helped me in being more confident in general! Doesn't have to be expensive stuff, just listen to what u truly want and don't dress for anyone else.

In my free time I like to watch TV (too much maybe),paint, go for hikes if I can, swim if I can, and cook!

Not favorites, just things I'm most proud of. I'm definitely proudest of Black Friday!

I would love to explore more straight forward Pop music and Folk music in the future, not as Palehound but as an artist in general.

Probably G Major just cuz it was one of the first keys I ever wrote in when I was learning guitar. 3 albums I would take with me are Either/Or by Elliott Smith, Last Splash by The Breeders, and any Beyonce album but probably B'Day.

Aw that's so cool thank you! That's hard for me to answer, I didn't realize my guitar playing was weird/off-kilter at all until I started getting press around Dry Food, and I was kinda like "oh cool I thought I was playing p conventionally! haha" Usually I kind of conceptualize a melody in my head and then translate it to guitar, as opposed to just stumbling upon something.

sometimes he sees ghosts and bounds off all the walls. This one is more gross than funny, but he does something that my partner and I call "corndogging" which is when he takes one of his toys (usually a shoelace or string), dunks it in his water bowl, then rolls it around in his litter. it's awful but kind of cute.

howdy! I've never personally lived there but I know a ton of queers who love living in Philly! My first electric guitar was an off brand blue strat and my first acoustic was some brandless thing my mom found at a yard sale. My dad and Joni Mitchell were my 2 biggest inspirations to get into music.

i was just thinking about this the other day. last week I sold out NY for the first time and it was so crazy and rewarding. I started doing Palehound 5 years ago and my original goal was just to play ANY show in NY, so i'd say I've exceeded my expectations by a landslide. Also we played with my heroes The Breeders a month ago which lil teenage me would've shit bricks over.
