Listen to kandthesorrows' emotional new song GuaranteedBrokenHeart
"I had this weird vision about 90s country if it was through the filter of Neil Young -- which is not unfair to imagine 'cause he's done so many different things," Pittelman explains. "That was guiding me forward. It felt like a lot of these songs wanted to have a string band on them, which was completely new to me. I'm usually much more electric."
"Guaranteed Broken Heart," which starts the album, is a “two-stepping song," according to Pittelman. "I worked on that one really hard to make sure the beat was right." The title, of course, does not exactly convey happiness, but Pittelman hopes that there's a bit of light in that darkness. "One of the things I love most about country music is trying to find those moments in your life that are totally sad or heartbroken, but you find this moment of humor in it, just a twist or turn of a phrase with a bit of wit in it," she explains. "You can take this moment in your life that's painful but find a witty way to sing about it. It's devastating but smart at the same time." with a release day show on Oct. 18 at Brooklyn's Littlefield.
"I make music for the music's sake, and I think everybody wants their art to be seen and heard for what it is," Pittelman says. "Our political identity and what's happening around us not only shapes what we make, but also shapes our opportunities to make it. I'm always invested in having that conversation about what is the role of identity in country music and what does it mean to be a queer person in country music.
