Chris Pastore · Deliver Me

Slowcity.ca Open Mic with Charlotte Cornfield, Megan Nash and the Best of Intentions, Hayden Thorpe, Waxfeet, Emi Jeen, Katie Tupper, Gov't Mule, Billy Strings, and Tirzah,

By Will McGuirk

“My brother and I grew up watching Wes Anderson movies. They were a huge part of our childhood and adolescence, and I feel like they've seeped into our DNA at this point — the colours, the outfits, the humour.” - Charlotte Cornfield

“I was feeling inspired by studies into the potential healing properties of psilocybin mushrooms in psychotherapy. I signed up to a flagship programme in the Netherlands as I wanted to explore consciousness in a safe way.” - Hayden Thorpe

“I listen to this album now and it’s emotional. I could sit there and tweak it forever, but there’s a point where it’s like building a house of cards. Yeah, I could add an extra tower on top, but it might collapse. I’ve always doubted myself, and I still do, but this album makes me think, ‘Hey, you’re doing all right, kid. You just need to keep going.’” - Billy Strings
