In support of her critically acclaimed release, the Illinois-born, Los Angeles based artist has made late night television appearances on NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers and TBS' Conan and has received critical praise from The New York Times and Pitchfork thanks to her fearlessly detailed lyrics and socio-political commentary. "Every Where Is Some Where" (released April 7, 2017) is her most deliberate and dynamic work yet, and is a thrillingly vital album that channels the frenzy and anxieties of today's world but ultimately exhilarates.
