DESCRIPTION :
“A coming-of-age album for late bloomers who grew up in a place that didn’t always love them back.”
“It’s a collection of songs that tackle topics like gender envy, reconnecting with childhood, escapism, generational trauma, and queer joy, all while processing a complicated relationship with your hometown,” Ponthier tells Rolling Stone. “When I would sit down to write songs, those are the experiences that I wanted to draw from. It’s simple. It’s a record that can be fun, silly, heartbreaking, disarming, and covers a wide range of topics and energies, but it’s a record that is about my life.”
While many of the songs explore the complicated relationship between their upbringing in Texas and their queerness, Ponthier explains that there’s still a lot of joy on the record. “When you’re writing about growing up somewhere as vast, complex, and contradictory as my home state, zeroing in on one mood or one conclusion can’t do it justice.”
