Grace Cummings: "I think that real things in life are best expressed theatrically"

Grace Cummings joins Kyle Meredith to discuss Ramona , an album recorded with Jonathan Wilson in the picturesque Topanga Canyon. The Australian songwriter reveals how Angel Olsen's Big Time LP influenced her sound, driving her to embrace a greater level of vulnerability in her music.

Cummings explains that sometimes lyrics serve primarily as a vehicle for the melody, allowing the music to convey emotion and meaning. She delves into the mythological themes of cowboys, kings, and gods that populate her songs, adding a rich, narrative depth to her work. She also shares her intention for each track on Ramona to feel like a pivotal scene in a film, creating an album that is cinematic and evocative.
