Fawn’s Enemy is a view straight into my heart. Some of it is an earnest admission of defeat, some of it is an assertion of personal power, all of it is ripped from the pages of my journals. I would describe this record as feminist to its core. I’d call it an indie folk record, deeply inspired by Gillian Welch, Fiona Apple, Damien Rice, Big Thief, and more outright country artists like The Chicks and Tyler Childers. Who is Fawn’s Enemy? Oftentimes, Fawn’s Enemy is Fawn herself. She can be tender, she can be spiteful, she can be self-destructive, she can be strong-willed and self-assured. I’m burdened with both an honesty compulsion and a penchant for melodrama. I made an agreement with myself before I wrote this record that every word on it would come solely from me, so Fawn’s Enemy feels, to me, both uncompromised and unfiltered.

“Fawn’s Rage” is the crux of this entire record, the foundation that it was built around. Once I recognized the ways the Fawn Response appeared for me in my day-to-day life, my creative world started to light up. Writing, recording, and producing this record was empowering and terrifying at the same time, so putting it out feels like the ultimate emotional release. My biggest hope that it provides some healing for listeners and I hope people receive it as an invitation to become closer with themselves.
