about

Make You Whole is jam-packed with infectious grooves and upbeat shuffles, but its lyrics also dig into what vulnerable strongholds of comfort remain in our fracturing world. It grapples with different strands of rejection (of the queer self, of one's own trauma, of the turbulent forces of our planet, of our loved ones), how our brokenness after rejection can form a patchwork of strength and wisdom, and how our beauty lies in the very fibers of this vulnerability. Especially when you’re dancing to these tunes about it.

These tracks stem from the neosoul and indiefunk genre, but they also have a densely-arranged depth that occasionally goes beyond any genre. Founder and lead singer, Sophia Spiegel, originally wrote these tunes for her three beloved bandmates - Will Kjeer, Maxwell Voda, and Kevin Yetter. She then decided to write in horn parts for all the tracks, performed by two more beloved new mates, Ivan Cunningham and Mitch Van Laar, and later added string parts for many of the tunes with just her cello in her room. Recording engineer and coproducer, Adam Tucker, then added auxiliary percussive flair, particularly heard in "See How She Moves" and "They Say The Heart Can't Break". This album also features loon calls, crickets, thunder, crashing waves, cicadas, and other ambient respites, all influential sounds for Spiegel when writing this music.
