Maya Hawke - Moss - Translucent Orange Color Vinyl LP

Songs come into my life out of need, whether familiar or new. Every single one on this record speaks to me, revealing inner struggles and disappointing self-reflections. Listen in with Backup Plan as the opening track - it's my backup plan to just be me, even if I can't follow through with who I'm pretending to be or what I said I wanted. Go on to Thérèse, about a girl misunderstood, and Mermaid Bar, a tale of redemption when a girl jumps into the Hudson River and finds herself reborn as a mermaid.

Bloomed Into Blue was originally a poem I had written with a friend in high school called the B-Word Muse. It was a tribute to Ariel, to Eddie Sedgwick, Marie Thérèse, and so many more…Women who were always the subject of art and not the creator. Worthy of being spoken about but not worthy of being listened to. This record reckons with childhood in Sweet Tooth and Driver, with regret in Luna Moth, Crazy Kid and Sticky Little Words, with anger in South Elroy, Restless Moon and Over.Above all this record wants to be about rebirth and acceptance.I’m crawling back to myself. Thank you for watching- Maya Hawke
