Enfnts Terribles

The new album WEEDKILLER will be coming out at the end of August after being postponed. What are the final steps you’re taking right now before the project comes out?

The album is done, so I won’t change anything about the album. It’s being pushed due to admin and label politics. We want to make sure that we have the right marketing campaign behind it. I’m trying to sit back and chill a bit.

The last time we had a chat was when DEMIDEVIL came out. How different is WEEDKILLER compared to DEMIDEVIL from the perspective of being the creator?

It’s quite different. I would describe it as the older sister or older cousin. It’s me writing music more intentionally and writing music that makes me feel alive. I’m making music solely for me on WEEDKILLER. In the past, I was thinking often about what other people might enjoy, while this one is really for me.

How did you actually approach the visual aspect of the album?

I wrote a short story—two years ago—about my dystopian fate fantasy epic, and I’ve just been drawing from that world. I made a mood board and continued to write the story. Again, I curated the artists and creatives I worked with more intentionally. I was really thinking about every detail and how it feeds into the next to tell you the story. The music videos and the artwork all tell you a different story. I was really deep-diving into the world of WEEDKILLER.

Would you then say that the visual aspect is as important for you as the music?

The visual aspect tells parts of the story that we don’t in the music. They’re both as important as each other.
