'I think music is medicine, it’s good for me and us, and it’s good for people.”
’ “Big Wheel” spirals like its namesake, rolling in with a disorienting Moog synthesizer before guitarist Cody Blanchard’s vocals chime in over stuttering percussion and distorted guitars, driving towards the chorus. The song’s music video, premiering today on, mirrors the surreal nature of the track. The visuals suggest a silent-era film, with black-and-white scenes, eerie shadows and perspectives as staggering as the events that inspired to the song’s creation.
The album opens with “The Vow,” a timeless lullaby, a sugary doo-wop song, backed by bells under Shaw’s voice as she croons, “Beautiful guy with the sun in your eyes/ I’ve been waiting, waiting for your love/ Now you’re all mine for all time.” Just before the interview, I play it aloud in the living room. It’s optimism incarnate, an audible manifestation of the kind of big, true love you only read about. Without context, it’s the most joyous thing you could imagine.
I tell her about the first time I played the song and that someone who didn’t know its backstory had overheard it. He asked If I’d play it again, calling it “fun” and “beautiful.” “I love that,” Shaw replies. “It was supposed to be a beautiful song, laying out our life together.” “For me, I’m doing a lot of work before I go out,” Shaw says. “Because, as you can see, I can just talk a little bit and start weeping. With the songs, I’m rehearsing them with my vocal coach and trying to get strong while doing them so I feel like I have armor on stage, so I don’t break down. It’s important for me to present them in the way that we made them. To me it’s important to show people these songs and all this hard emotional work.
