CB: Like hymns and shit?

SS: That was my favorite part of church. I didn’t start singing until I was like 25. Attending church I would hold up the hymnbook and just go like, “oooooohhh, haaa, heeee.” Because I couldn’t read, I was so little, I would just make up words and open the book and take it really seriously because I loved how it physically felt when you are singing and feel it in your chest and feel other people’s voices making you buzz. I loved that.

WS: We were just listening to this great podcast, “Cocaine and Rhinestones.” Have you heard that?

THC: No, I can’t say I have.

CB: It’s about the history of country music. The Newman Brothers are a weird harmony group, they’re very religious. 

WS: And they stand in a circle and sing these weird harmonies, it’s supposed to be really cool sounding.

SS: Somebody talked about familial harmony?

NM: yeah you can sing crazy harmonies with your family. A blood harmony.

THC: I’ve heard that, yeah. HAIM does a lot of harmony and they’re all sisters. But that’s some juicy stuff there.
