On this episode I’m talking to Mary Hood, a folk-inspired artist whose new music charts interpersonal drama in terms triumphant, centered around intimate lyricism and elevated by bombastic, uplifting, and electric instrumentation. Her most recent singles “Lake Sebago” and “Come Back Earth” serve as impressionistic ballads on intimacy and connection, continuing some of the themes established on her 2017 stripped-down effort, Fire and Gasoline. As Mary Hood’s artistry expands into more open sonic spaces, she’s quickly become one of my favorite rising artists in the Five BoroughsOver the course of our conversation, Mary and I spoke about influences—including our shared admiration of Fiona Apple, relocating to New York and getting your feet wet in the scene, the two-sided coin that is human interconnectedness, and her skills at naming houseplants (before inevitably killing them).
