I have a really intense hyperfixation on doing the right thing, and being that way just creates a lot of shame and guilt around doing anything incorrectly. Girlpool was so catharsis-oriented and about exploring my feelings emotionally; I was excited to be more intellectual and cerebral about processing these feelings of shame and guilt in different aspects of my personality and playing with performing things that are considered incorrect and shameful. I have felt like I am the wrong person so many times, and I just wanted to normalize things that I have felt wrong for in the past. I&#8217;m practicing it to extremes in this music. It\u2019s like exposure therapy, almost. If I worry that doing tiny things is bad, then what if I made a song about being the worst version of myself?<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            <b>You came up through the indie rock world, where sadness and self-doubt can often be the default.

So I\u2019m enjoying the freedom. I\u2019m a musical theater kid, and I love emo and pop music. The goal for me right now is to build a world that feels refreshing to be in. <\/p>\n<p>            What\u2019s complicated is that when I was in Girlpool, I was the craziest version of myself and kind of the worst version of myself in a lot of different ways. I was very mentally unwell and was going through a lot. The music I was making [in Girlpool] was self-deprecating and self-doubting, but this [current music] is more of a reflection of who I was at that time. I was going out every single night and pushing my body and mind to a place that was not healthy. That\u2019s not the case any more. There is a funny irony in what I&#8217;m presenting now and what I was presenting in Girlpool, versus what was going on behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            <b>Do you see any shared DNA between Girlpool and what you\u2019re doing as Harmony?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>            The ethos is very similar, and I think that was kind of overlooked [in Girlpool]. \u201cMiss America\u201d is very <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=y3eWIbzAI50\">\u201cIdeal World\u201d<\/a>-esque or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dVad4KjIGyw\">\u201cSlutmouth\u201d<\/a> with the lyrical in-your-face-ness. The reason it worked in Girlpool is because the music was so sparse and subdued, so it felt less aggressive. Now the lyrics are paired with in-your-face music, and I think that can feel alarming, comparatively. The thing that was punk about Girlpool was that we were doing things by our rules. When you look at the lyrics and the tone and the direction of Girlpool and Harmony, it feels very clear that it&#8217;s coming from the same angle. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264760\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left embed\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Harmony - Miss America (Official Music Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ugGTtwB0wYo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264761\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            <b>\u201cMiss America\u201d is both a celebration and a condemnation of Los Angeles.

It has been healing for me after so long of me feeling like I didn&#8217;t belong there. This music, \u201cMiss America\u201d especially, relates to feeling a lot of pressure growing up to be a specific type of girl, and to exist in a specific type of way, and look a certain way. I was not physiologically structured in the way a lot of girls were growing up. I&#8217;ve had hormone issues my whole life that contributed to neuroses and self-consciousness. So I am playing with how I can embody that energy of ideal femininity, but also make fun of it. It\u2019s fun to play and to heal the wounds.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>You have mentioned <i>Moulin Rouge<\/i> as a reference for the whole Harmony project.

I was wondering if you could kind of tell me what you were exploring with that song.<\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            Somebody very broadly described the plot of [Netflix\u2019s] <i>Baby Reindeer<\/i> to me, and I wanted to write a song about obsession. People are constantly cycling through projection and obsession with people in the world, obviously not to the degree in [<i>Baby Reindeer<\/i>]. But even casual crushes I hear about my friends having, how much projection goes into that, how much goes into people I&#8217;ve been into in the past that were just, like, not even remotely emotionally available. <\/p>\n<p>            <b>You see it online, too, in the relationships between fans and musicians. How do you feel seeing artists struggle to establish boundaries between themselves and their audience? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>            It&#8217;s so gnarly. It reminds me of that [Nikola] Tesla quote, \u201cYou may live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension.\u201d It is just so disturbing to watch from a distance. The amount of information people assume they have about other people because of something they&#8217;ve written, or that they have access to them because of this intimate work they&#8217;ve shared, is really quite sad. <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            I honestly think a lot of the artists that are experiencing this should just be offline, but no one can be offline because that&#8217;s where their work is. It\u2019s like Stockholm Syndrome, and the internet is the prison. I am really grateful to have never experienced that, but I have friends that have been through similar things and have talked to me about it. People need to realize that just because they have access to someone&#8217;s work, or hear something online, doesn&#8217;t mean they understand them on any fundamental level. It&#8217;s the misinformation Olympics out there. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264763\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            <b>This might be misinformation, too, but I read that you DJed at Charli XCX&#8217;s birthday party.<\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            I was behind the decks.

I put on their song [\u201cGirl, So Confusing\u201d], and then it was a whole thing. I was like, \u201cOops.\u201d I was just so oblivious and being a goof. Sometimes I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going on, and then it&#8217;s a moment, and I&#8217;m like, \u201cOh, how nice.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">David Renshaw<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
