Episode 1: Lily Seabird08 Sep 202601:05:05

After making a name for herself in the burgeoning indie-rock scene of Burlington, Vermont, Lily Seabird's profile is very much on the rise. Her new album, Lightspheres on Their Way, is her best work yet, a raw and sprawling collection of songs that sound like they were made by a person who had no choice but to make them. It'll appeal to

I had the chance to speak with Lily a few weeks ago from her home in Burlington the day before she and her band were heading to Europe for some shows. We spoke about all sorts of things:

  • The music community in Burlington
  • Songwriting as a way of life rather than merely a coping tool
  • The different mindsets required for songwriting vs. recording
  • Learning to tour in a healthy, sustainable way
  • Addiction and the role substances do or do not play in creativity
  • Imposter Syndrome
  • Feeling like we live in unprecedented times but maybe not, actually
  • And, of course, lightspheres

Physical copies of the record are available now, and it's streaming on Bandcamp, with a wider digital release set for October.
