You’re connected with each other when it comes to music. In what other ways are you connected with each other?

Megan: We’re very good friends and have the same sense of humor. That’s the first thing that comes to my mind and is probably the most important one. When you have a long working relationship, you have to be able to laugh with one another. We can also finish each others sentences and pick up vibes. We’re a little bit witchy.

How did you build that trust in one another when it comes to performing?

Megan: We practiced with that trust challenge where you have to catch each other when falling backwards and then she dropped me. No, for real. What do we do?

Lily: There was definitely a natural chemistry when we first met and sang together. Performing is something we both loved doing individually, and when we met we really had that strong connection, so it was natural taking it into our performance space. The more our friendship and work accumulation had developed, the more our songwriting and performance became better. That all goes hand in hand. When you write, there’s an element of trust and understanding the movement or dynamic between each of us. There’s a lot of looking in the eyes, which comes from singing and writing together.

You released your debut album Emotional Education. What do you want people to learn about you when listening to the album?

Megan: I think, the biggest thing is that we would like people to feel connected and to feel less alone. We want people to know that it happens to all of us. It might sound a bit as a cliché, but it’s amazing to see how many amazing messages we get and to hear all the stories of fans that come to us after a show. I think that’s because we share ours in a very explicit and direct way and there’s a lot of power and vulnerability. I think only recently, people are starting to understand that in our society and to see that you are more powerful when you’re more vulnerable makes you able to connect to way more people. We’d like people to feel that way and not feel alone in their vulnerability and power.
