Ganz: I do think it's possible that playing live will change the band. It's interesting to remember that the record was made before anybody heard it — it was completely finished before anybody heard any of these songs. In The New York Times profile that was presented as something strange, but maybe it's rare in a valuable way to catch a band before there is any awareness of who they are out in the world. And maybe the pandemic allowed that to happen in a way that hasn't happened in more normal recent times. But in this album we have a document of a band that was not yet influenced by the public's demands for what they do in any way. They had not toured. They had not played live. They didn't have any songs on SoundCloud. They were a new thing and somebody had the great idea not to wait for them to evolve – to put them in a studio and capture that newness whole.

That's a thing that used to happen all the time. We didn't have access to those early materials. We didn't have access to bands touring or videos of them playing live. We saw the records show up on a shelf in a record store and you bought it or you didn't. Kornhaber, Spencer (15 December 2022). "The 10 Best Albums of 2022". The Atlantic .

Keeping you in the loop with what is happening in our world - records from Domino Mart, news, discounts and exclusives. There are also a lot of moments on this album of real emotional vulnerability — an "I'm almost 28, I didn't expect my life to look this way" lyricism — but they never linger on them. Teasdale and Chambers wield that New Wave coldness aesthetically, and they don't really let the listener get close. Maybe I'm demanding too much emotional intimacy from them, because they're clearly a very playful band. But I think that emptiness also kind of contributes to my skepticism, and also because the imagery of the f***-up is so well-worn in pop culture, it's an experience that doesn't feel necessarily as sharp to me anymore.

It's perhaps calculated, perhaps not, in a pop landscape where so much is exposed, not just emotionally, as we talked about before, but in terms of bodies, right? When we tune in to an awards show, we see lots of flesh, male and female and non-binary at this point. And there is an explicitness in the mainstream — I never want to say it's more than ever because I think everything in pop is cyclical. It's sort of a mid-70s moment when there's a lot of nudity and sexuality on stage. Here's this band that is like, no, I'm not going to do that. And then there's an interesting element of self-protection embedded in the relationship between the two women at the center. That's not so much something you hear in the music because you don't really hear Chambers' voice that much. But in the video, she's really central as a foil for Teasdale, as the best friend who's hugging her and holding her up.
