“We forced the stars to align. We were all on our own tour, and we’re like, ‘we really wanna make this work.’ …The most replenishing part of this project was, just, the complete trust. Everybody wanted to understand each other, and nobody was, like, pushing an agenda.” – Phoebe Bridgers
“If one person was having a thought – ‘I don’t know if this is good, it’s probably terrible’ – it was, like, ‘No! Be the boy genius! Your every thought is worthwhile, just spit it out.”– Lucy Dacus
“It’s safer to create as part of a collective. Because what you lose in control, you gain in possibilities, and input, and ideas… knowing that I can only take a third of the credit for the songs that we made makes me feel entitled to be proud of this music. I feel grateful that they were willing to be in that creative space with me and give me the ability and reason to feel that.” – Julien Baker
