![]() The misstep I learned the most from in the 2010s was: I gave a lot of myself away. It kind of messed me up for a couple days. And then meeting someone who’s been inspiring me since I was like 13 and finding out he’s a genuine fan. It just doesn’t make any sense, ‘cause we’re such a fresh, new band. I just think that it doesn’t really register for me to see one of the people that I genuinely look to for fellow inspiration. So just finding out we were one of his favorite bands it wasn’t a starstruck moment. And it was maybe my intro to indie music or getting into alternative stuff. I’ve been listening to it and been in awe of it since I was 13. Justin Vernon curated it, and I was really shocked and happy to find out that we were one of his favorite bands, because, I mean, if we’re talking about decades, I think his music was one of the greatest this generation has seen. The most surprising encounter I had with a fellow artist this decade was: We played a secret show one time with Snoop Dogg and Bon Iver. The best new slang term of the decade was: Calling something that’s ugly or bad “boof.” But I did rewatch it all in a binge style. I guess I watched it while it was coming out, so it was like every week. The TV show I couldn’t stop streaming in the 2010s was: Euphoria. ![]() I guess it kind of continued to happen, but I don’t really think it like flies as much as it used to. But then it turned into acoustic Halsey covers. ![]() Because I think café music should have been Regina Spektor Norah Jones. Like sensitive, tapping-on-the-guitar coffee shop covers, using the guitar as a bongo. Like Birdy covering “Skinny Love.” And it being called cafe music. My least favorite trend in music this decade was: Maybe that time when that Tumblr-style of singing was popping off. Selling out shows in places where I would never have been able to travel to before and having people sing the words back people who don’t primarily speak English. The craziest thing that happened to me in the 2010s was: Touring in Asia and having fans in Jakarta. The artist who had the best decade was: Frank Ocean. I listen to it every time I’m … well, I listen to it every day. I love that the lyrics are really simple and repetitive but really powerful and the visuals that have come with this album are insane. That song holds a really special place in my heart.Īnd then “Cellophane” by FKA Twigs is just so heartbreaking in a way that really connected with me. I don’t know if I’d call it pop music, but the way the production on that record sounds is really inspiring to me. I don’t really know much about producing music or making pop music. I don’t know what it is or how it just does. ![]() She has a family and it’s really heartfelt and beautiful, and it strikes a specific emotional chord for me. I love that it’s so minimal and emotional, a unique perspective. The Tirzah song I really love that album would be my dead ringer for second place. My favorite song of the 2010s was: “Gladly” by Tirzah but I also want to say “Cellophane” by FKA Twigs. I think it’s just one of the few albums that have stuck with me really hard and I kind of just always revisit. I love music that’s emotionally vulnerable, but it’s also, like, pop. I also think that they are really unique stylistically and … I don’t know, it’s very emo for pop music. I wasn’t like an original 1975 fan, but I just think the songwriting is really sincere and beautiful. I discovered it kind of late in the game. My favorite album of the 2010s was: I’m gonna say the 1975’s self-titled. ![]()
