Abby Vigderman (Ramona)
What are your top five albums that were released in 2021? (In order 1-5)
- Touche Amore - Lament

- Turnstile - GLOW ON
- The Mimes - Plastic Pompeii
- Sufjan Stevens - A Beginner's Mind
What band did you discover in 2021 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? What made them significant?
Probably Title Fight. I had listened to a few songs here and there but really fell in love this year. Gave a really nice feeling of catharsis that's helped me through school and many treadmill runs.
How will you remember 2021? (In terms of music)
2021 renewed my faith in music as a pure form of personal expression. Some really creative albums have come out, and reminded me that the people who love making music will always do it. We don't need to grind on tour, or the backing of the "industry," or outside opinions of what we should make. Sometimes great things can come out of altered circumstances.
What can we look forward to from you in 2022?
Currently working on new songs for a second album with many already in the pipeline. Our first show post-pandemic will be January 28 at Sunset Tavern in Seattle with Sharkie, Black Ends, and Dead Bars. Have some other shows planned (looking at you Europe) that I can't announce yet ;)
What records are you looking forward to most in 2022?
I have no idea what is supposed to come out in 2022. I'd love a new Single Mothers album. And maybe new Britney??
What went through your head the first time you played live in 2021 after the delay? (If you haven’t -- what do you anticipate when you hit that point?)
We still haven't played live, but our first show back will likely feel like going home, as we're playing with hometown buds and Seattle is where we first started. The times that we've practiced as a band over the pandemic have felt cathartic and I anticipate that I will cry (from happiness).
