You&#8217;re stuck at home during lockdown; you realize you&#8217;re neighbors and both professional musicians who ran in somewhat overlapping circles in Philly. Were you familiar with each other&#8217;s work beforehand?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>            <b>Paul Sukeena:<\/b> Oh, yeah. Philly&#8217;s such a small town, the term overlap is putting it lightly. We collaborated with a lot of the same people and ran in the same crews.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            <b>Paul, I know you grew up two hours outside Philly, but I imagine the scene in Mechanicsburg was vastly different.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>            <b>Sukeena:<\/b> Yes, Mechanicsburg is a fairly typical small town in the middle of central PA, which is politically a galaxy away from Philly or Pittsburgh. It&#8217;s a pretty conservative area. It&#8217;s very bucolic and quaint, and it was great growing up there and hiking and getting into the outdoors or whatever. We were really obsessed with The [Grateful] Dead and indie rock and stuff. I was in a jam band with my friends. That term is very loose: We\u2019d just sit in a basement and get high and play for hours. It was pretty rudimentary [but] it laid out the carpet for how I\u2019d approach music for the rest of my life, really. There&#8217;s always been an improvisational element to what I do.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>Mary, tell me a little about growing up in Asheville. Your mom was the harpist for the Asheville Symphony Orchestra, right?<\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            <b>Mary Lattimore:<\/b> For 35 years. My family moved to a smaller town when I was in middle school. I played with the high school orchestra, the Charlotte Symphony Youth Orchestra \u2014 getting into playing classical music but listening to a lot of The Cure and R.E.M. Then I went to music school for classical harp performance. It gave me a foundation for what I do now technically: how to hold my hands the right way, how to play really fast, how to play emotively and sensitively. And then I moved to Philly in 2005 and started playing on other people&#8217;s records. I was slow to learn how to improvise. I had to do some unlearning from my classical music background in order to be free enough. There are no wrong notes, basically.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>So you moved to L.A. a few years ago, Mary. And Paul, you got there not too long before the pandemic hit after living in the Philly area for pretty much your whole life, right?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>            <b>Sukeena:<\/b> Correct.  I lived in Philly for 14 or 15 years. My wife is from California, so we landed in L.A. in January 2019, spent most of that year meeting people and getting my bearings. We rehearsed the Angel Olsen record <i>All Mirrors<\/i> for most of the year and then hit the road that fall. People say it takes two years to really find your footing [in L.A.]. My second year was unfortunately a little absent because of the pandemic. But it&#8217;s all good. Things change, you know? And if it hadn&#8217;t happened, maybe Mary and I wouldn&#8217;t have had the time to collaborate together.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            <b>Lattimore:<\/b> That&#8217;s for sure.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>Sukeena:<\/b> It was such a relaxed environment to make a record: &#8220;Do you want to have a coffee at 11?\u201d And then we\u2019d maybe set up the mics and maybe record for a bit and then go out to the yard.

[Paul\u2019s] wife Nicky would make beautiful pasta for us and we\u2019d drink a lot of wine.
