Interview with Lizzie & The Makers
b'We had the pleasure of interviewing Lizzie & The Makers over Zoom video!
\\u201cIt\\u2019s almost like when we wrote these songs they went through a David Lynch portal, they came out a little bizarre,\\u201d says frontwoman Lizzie Edwards on the creation of Lizzie & The Makers\\u2019 sophomore album Dear Onda Wahl announced for release on November 5, 2021 [independently] and produced by acclaimed producers Reeves Gabrels (David Bowie, Tin Machine) and Mario J. McNulty (David Bowie, Prince). Infusing elements of art-rock, dream-pop, and a celestial atmosphere, Lizzie & The Makers has spawned something entirely their own.
Ahead of this sophomore studio album announcement, Lizzie & The Makers had released two singles - the rootsy spellbinding ethereal tune \\u201cMermaid\\u201d which American Songwriter called "an enchanting dip into bluesy synth-pop waters" and, more recently, the blues rock stomper "Lover By Proxy" which Glide Magazine highlights the \\u201cLed Zeppelin-esque bluesy guitar riff and Edwards\\u2019 electrifyingly soulful vocals.\\u201d\\u201cQueens\\u201d & more.
Elsewhere on the upcoming album, there\\u2019s the sultry bluesy reverberation of "Magic River" for which Edwards penned the melody for after a post-Whitesnake listening binge. There\\u2019s a grimy, hard hitting rock track ("Bottle"), which Edwards says is about \\u201cbeing a woman in the rock/blues genre and in music and the word in general", a bouncy rock love-hate letter (\\u201cLes Idiots\\u201d) to certain \\u201ccharacters\\u201d posing in her hometown, NYC\'s East Village, and a haunting and cathartic groovy, slow rock jam ("Waiting For The Teeth\\u201d) about healing. The curiously named title track "Dear Onda Wahl" is a play on words that refers to a metaphorical letter she wrote to a mounted hunting trophy at the bar where she worked, i.e "Deer On The Wall", "Dear Onda Wall." A funky number that was written during a slow workday behind the bar, Edwards gazed at the mounted deer head asking it for love advice: \\u201cDeer on the wall, what\\u2019s the point of it all?" The forlorn tune "Tell Her\\u201d is a contrasting musical companion of sorts to the more playful "Lover By Proxy\\u201d that highlights Edwards heartfelt, nuanced vocal tone, influenced by Memphis soul legend Ann Peebles, Heart\\u2019s Wilson sisters, Alison Mosshart of The Kills and Katie Crutchfield of Waxahatchee. The haunting, seven-minute closing track \\u201cMojo Hand\\u201d is soaked in McMullen\\u2019s borderline sci-fi sonic sorcery and Edwards\\u2019 enunciated occultic metaphors; producer Reeves Gabrels also contributed to the track, adding to the otherworldly vibe.
