While writing their new album Songs About You Specifically, MICHELLE rented out a house in Ojai, California. Surrounded by lizards, the smell of ripe cactus fruit, and endless expanses of sand, they experienced a profound sense of solitude and closeness that consequently shifted the tone of their work. While their earlier music channeled the churning restlessness of the city, these news songs meander and expand into starry shoegaze reveries, slick funk riffs, and lilting 80s synth pop.
The months they spent touring, as well as the experience of living together in Ojai, fostered new bonds between the band. “There are friends I've had for almost my whole life who I won't know as intimately as I know members of this group,” band member Emma Lee shares. “There isn't really an opportunity for that in any other kind of relationship in your life.” The sense of trust and comfort they fostered with each other allowed them to be more candid and vulnerable in their songwriting too. “It’s so easy to write a generic love or breakup song,” Julian Kaufman says. “But many of these stories are true. We’re coming from a really honest place.”
