Honestly at the moment i feel infinite

(29/10/2025)

Duct tape roses you made, D.C. 2025.

Many thanks for your patience as I claw my way back here. All year I’ve had this feeling of words being out of reach, my grasp on them clumsy and haphazard. I blame a cocktail of things — world news, posting on Instagram, an album’s worth of vulnerable subject matter, low iron. Skittish of my own mess, I keep waiting for chapters to deliver themselves all sewn up with a neat ending before I tell them to you, even though I know by now the real story’s always open heart and you can’t tell it without blood gushing everywhere. Better to treat this like I do my journal, I think, scuzzy tangle of images transcribed from the whitewash, not the shore. I miss you too much.

I’m coming to you from LA, evening light soft and gold on the keys, farmers’ market persimmons arranged on the counter with all the manic precision of a woman suddenly not hosting a nightly 12,000-person party. The post-tour emotional dip is inevitable for me, this one compounded by being my first time doing nothing literally all year. How me to have six days off from my all-consuming decades-long art project and freak out that actually, I’m wasting my prime years. My body is grateful though, drinking down ten hours of brushed teeth sleep a night. We go on little neighbourhood walks at night and I think, around now I’d be leaping barefoot onto a treadmill.

Ok, I think it’s time to talk about Ultrasound.

Is it gonna feel like hyperbole if I say this tour is the highlight of my career so far? That it’s better than I could have dreamed, and I was dreaming big? From the first moment in Austin, when the laser drew me up from under the stage and you were there, hungry and roaring and agile, I knew it was on. All I had to do was try keep up.

There’s so much about Ultrasound that I love, but no lie, the main thing is you. You’re what’s profound about all this, what you do with my songbook, and I built the show around that phenomenon, knowing it’s more profound than any production trick I could dream up. I wanted the stage to feel sort of plain and democratic, an extension of the same spaces inhabited by you and the crew rather than where the queen lives. Partly because creating beauty and intrigue using modern utilitarian pieces is very L4, but mostly because I really believe that at my shows there’s no one star. I walk through the crowd and feel the line between performer and spectator dissolve entirely. From the B stage I watch as you become the show, dancing with your friends and not looking at me, and experience a sense of fulfilment and gratitude like I’ve never felt — in my windbreaker and necklaces breaking into a million pieces, the visions I had at 14 finally realised. From there I often think, if it all ended tomorrow I’d be at peace.

But I’m glad it’s not ending tomorrow :p

I’m psyched to announce a few more shows, in Mexico, forever fav, and LA, cause it was just sooooo good there the other night, easily my favourite show of the tour which took me by surprise! All up for sale right now. I’m still not sure how much I’m gonna play next year, I think I gotta keep writing, so let it rip.

What else? Been scrolling Instagram for fucking hours to come down, adrift in a sea of shit at 330am. Really wild to me how obviously and directly it correlates to feeling sick. Also filling notebooks, reading a lot.

Tour book stacks here, yes some repeats, you know by now I love to return to the texts

My body aches somewhere new every day, my fault for falling off with lifting, it really cures all and I miss it. Have cooked up a couple special limited run merch pieces, will show you soon.

Here’s a cute little series from after our last show in Seattle— Emma turned 24, Champagne in the hallway, burgers in the parking lot, last glimpse at our beautiful truck.

Sometimes I am in awe that all this creation is happening in a time and place where so many structures are breaking down. My therapist tells me an analogy about how the caterpillar and butterfly attack each other inside the chrysalis, her point, I guess, being that something is always dying and being born. We discuss how my work, artists’ work generally, is alternately palliative or prenatal. In some cities I felt an intake of breath when I faced the audience with my taped chest, realised that for some people seeing a woman going all the way into herself like this pushes them to an edge, and my heart swelled with gratitude that I was being trusted with that.

I’m so excited for Europe, seeing so many friends there, swimming before shows, the O2, but that’s still to come. Tonight I’m in my feels about the journey we went on together this past month in the US, wanna say a huge thank you to every single person who came. Something is always dying and being born, something very precious, made of nothing but our bodies in the light and dark.

I love you so much, more than I thought possible,

Release

(30/06/2025)

Hi you In case you hadn't heard, my fourth one Virgin has entered the world three days ago.

It was very fucking surreal heading to a festival site at 8:30am on release day. Earliest show I've played in my life. Really vulnerable, you can't really front in the morning the way you can at night. The show was kind of this workshop or test kitchen trying out some different ways to get the music across so I thought playing into that with this pretty presentation was kinda good. It felt crazy to be back on my own stage again after three years. After we played I felt super dazed and exposed and generally weird in a classic release day way, wasn't sure if it'd settle for a few days. I went back to the hotel for a bit then came back to the festival in the evening, and had one of the best nights of my life honestly, everything they say about Glastonbury is true, it feels pure and wild and like a whole country. We watched some 75 which was sick and then walked over to four tet, I was craving dancing, and something unlocked in me while I was there, I realised that I had made something I truly loved and wouldn't change for the world, that it was a very deep expression of me and that wouldn't be for everyone, I thought about Kieran who has had this amazing long career and really just done his thing the whole time, and how much meaning it has to me and so many others. Around the time I was having these thoughts the chemicals were starting to kick in and he began this very long musical build up and this amazing thing that looked a bit like a double helix started happening with the lights, I could feel it all working on my body, dissolving my edges, and when the beat finally dropped I was somewhere really special. The whole night was just that, getting more open, more boundaryless, dancing for hours and hours, licking each others' hands, losing someone for an hour, finding them, talking some about the album, laughing lots and acting feral. At 530 or so my colleague Chris led us up this hill and we took our shoes off and saw the sun rise. Slept til 1 and did it all again the next night and now I feel like the release has sunk in for me, having had an actual cathartic release alongside it, and I keep remembering that it's just the beginning now, and can't wait for the whole next bit to come. Sam and I went for a walk to a few of my fav fountains on our last night in New York, It was very sticky. We went to Washington square park and watched someone dance with the central shaft of water for a long time and I thought that everything's right where it's meant to be, sometimes it's your time in the light and sometimes you're watching someone else shine, sitting around the edge with the kids smoking blunts, all of you contemplative and young and sweet and weary and at peace and alive.

More soon EYO xxx
