Pondering by traditional L.A. manufacturers, Anine Bing is one which involves thoughts. Based by Anine and Nicolai Bing, the label mixes Scandinavian minimalism with a distinctly Californian standpoint, identified for easy, lived-in items and timeless wardrobe staples.

You even have new music popping out so quickly—the Friday earlier than Valentine’s Day. What’s one thing you are particularly enthusiastic about with the brand new album?
I feel that this new wave of music showcases a extra mature facet of myself. I feel I’m simply at a spot the place I have been in a position to articulate issues higher, or quite a lot of these ideas higher, and I do know what I need to write about. And I really feel like lots of people have seen the very funky, all-over-the-place, enjoyable Claire, and the enjoyable music—and I feel that is nonetheless one thing that continues to be on this challenge. However I feel the facet that lots of people have not seen is the extra articulate and deeper songwriter facet of myself. That is a facet of me that I really feel like has been round for a extremely very long time. So it is one thing that I am excited to place ahead on this challenge. Going together with the idea of timeless—which was a really large phrase within the course of of constructing this challenge, and I feel within the course of of constructing initiatives to come back—I need issues to really feel timeless.

You’ve talked about that the album was impressed by the concept of a backyard. Are you able to clarify what that metaphor means to you?
I explored the imagery of a backyard a ton within the midst of constructing this challenge. Particularly, I used to be referring to how a backyard is a spot of life and loss of life—pruning, selecting, watering, wilting, uprooting. It is a spot the place each life and loss of life can exist collectively and be very stunning. And I see many areas of my life wanting like this. I feel every considered one of these songs represents a bit of the backyard, whether or not it’s the wilting and the loss of life, the watering and the life, or the in-between of the pruning and the tending to the backyard.
I feel quite a lot of these experiences too—even by the loss of life of crops—comes life. When a plant dies, it has to return into the bottom. It turns into meals for the soil and the subsequent life forward. Lots of the experiences and the songs are about extra the loss of life or the wilting—I’ve seen them produce quite a lot of life in my life on the opposite finish.
Numerous these songs are nearly totally different relationships in my life, and I feel all relationships type of seem like this too. They’ve the pruning, the selecting, the watering, and the wilting—all of it. So, I’m excited for folks to discover quite a lot of the relationships that I bought to discover whereas making this album.
Working with ANINE BING feels very L.A., and I do know quite a lot of the songs in your album have been written in New York. Which tune feels essentially the most L.A. to you, and why?
The primary one which flew to my head is “My Lover,” which occurs to even be the title of the album. I wrote that one whereas I used to be in L.A., and I used to be looking the home windows on the ocean. It was a really intimate second. I really feel like once I write in L.A., it’s extremely totally different than writing in New York. I feel the setting that I write in actually impacts how the music comes out. In New York, it is intimate, it is type of chaotic, and there is a lot occurring. However in L.A., when I’ve house, and when there’s grass and open air, I simply really feel like I’ve house and room to create music. That is how that tune feels to me, as a result of that is the setting it was written in, and it jogs my memory of house, which is California.
