Peter Ivers - Becoming Peter Ivers: A friend introduced me to his original “In Heaven” song, and it totally blew me away. I fell down the rabbit hole, watched all his New Wave Theatre stuff, and was just hooked. His music has this really genuine vibe, and it made me feel super nostalgic the first time I heard it.

Flaming Tunes - Flaming Tunes: This one’s a big influence on my own music. The beats really inspire me. The whole album feels raw and haunted—like a place I’m weirdly comfortable in.

Kleenex - Liliput: I was obsessed with this album during the first season of Yellowjackets. I felt like my character, Natalie, would totally love this band, so I even used pics of them for the costume designer. It’s my go-to when I need to get hyped or just need a mood boost.

Sparklehorse - Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot: “Weird Sisters” is one of my all-time favorite songs. I grew up on this album, so it has a special spot in my heart. Every track is a gem. Love you, Mark Linkous.

Tall Dwarfs - Fork Songs: “The Slide” off this album is another favorite. It’s got that perfect mix of sexy and melancholic. There’s just something about 90s indie music from New Zealand—especially Flying Nun Records—that hits different.
