"And so we have brought the folklore cabin to Cardiff! So, folklore, folklore is an album that Iām always going to be so proud of, because I started writingāI started out writingāyou guys are so sweet about folklore right now. This is so nice! So, I started writing this album about two days into the pandemic, so it really was more than an album for me. It was an entire like, escape mechanism, and you know, because when I would go into this world where I was writing this album, I would just pretend my life was totally different than it was. I think a lot of us do this when we escape into reading a good book or watching a great movie, like we just pretend that we have a different life. And thatās when I did whenever I would write for folklore. You know, I would pretend that I was like, this, I donāt know, this very poetic woman wandering through nature, wearing like, a lacy Victorian nightgown, holding a candle. Do you see the vision? You know, somewhere in the Welsh countryside? And I just kind of, and I pictured, in my fantasy, I lived here, in this cabin. Yup, not great in the winter, not good insulation, but aesthetically pleasing. And when I would be writing this album, I just decided I was going to do it differently. I thought, āYou know what, Iām going to create characters this time, and these characters are going to feel feelings, and fall in love, and break up, and betray each other.ā And so thatās what I did, and I really loved it, and then Iāve just been toying with doing that ever since, but folklore was really the first time I committed to that idea, of just being the narrator instead of being the character. And as the narrator, I wrote a story about a girl named Betty!"
