, the breakout band fronted by Karly Hartzman, sound quite like what you’d typically call “country.” With her recent album,, Hartzman gives her North Carolina roots a shiny shoegaze makeover On tour supporting the record, Hartzman took a break to chat with Crutchfield, who’s carved out her own country niche by creating indie pop hits from gutting lovelorn ballads. Over Zoom, the artists talked about tour and how they manage the chaos.—ALEX WEISSHARTZMAN: Good.
HARTZMAN: That actually came up today! We were on a bit yesterday where – do you know the ringtone that’s like [sings] dHARTZMAN: Yeah, we just listened to that on a loop because someone was talking about how that was their grandma’s ringtone and that’s who we listened to for a few minutes. HARTZMAN: I mean, I’ve wanted to do it for so long, but I just didn’t get lessons or whatever. Jake [Lenderman, guitarist] started getting lessons when he was seven or something. And my parents just, they’re music lovers, but they weren’t musicians and didn’t really know. They knew I wanted to perform. So I did theater, I did dance, but I was like, “There’s something else missing.” And I always loved music, but I was just like, “I don’t know if I have that muscle.
HARTZMAN: Oh my god, I have so much more energy! I used to take, like, a two-hour nap every day, sometimes right before we would go on stage, because I was just so exhausted. And the thing that exhausted me specifically was having to boss people around and having to know everything, when to be places and just being the point person. I feel like I can go for so much longer now having just this one extra person helping us. We’re driving still and one day it’ll be a whole crew or whatever.
HARTZMAN: Well, that means I have a ways to go before I have to start doing more on stage, because I look like shit on stage every night. [Laughs]HARTZMAN: Thank you. I just don’t have a wardrobe thing or anything, so it’s just a bunch of t-shirts and shit smashed into my suitcase. I like fashion, so it’s an interesting thing to think about one day being able to incorporate that into the show. But for now, I feel like I put on my black lipstick, that’s what gets me into it.
HARTZMAN: That’s interesting. I read stuff more than not, because weirdly, stuff doesn’t get to me very easily, positive or negative. I’ve seen a lot of both already, and I’m realizing some people just don’t like country music and that’s fine. I mostly just proofread because I’m telling stories about my family, so I’m always just making sure people aren’t talking shit. That’s the kind of shit that pisses me off, stuff that’s not about the music.
