RETRO REVIEWS

can remember the first time I heard Futurebirds. It was 2014, I was driving through Ohio listening to Spotify radio that had taken over from a playlist I’d made. The first track of their sophomore album “Virginia Slims” came through the speakers of my Kia Soul, and I was immediately thrusted into this dreamy atmosphere that had psychedelic country woven into lyrics that just make you want to sing along. I distinctly remember saying out loud to myself in awe “What the fuck is this?”

This is one of the more dramatic transformations I've done in a long time. It was my first time photographing The Kills, so I'm not sure if this is their typical lighting look, but it was definitely a challenge to work quickly in the three songs. I was almost constantly flipping around settings. For my first show in nearly two months, it was a bit nerve-wracking, but that's part of the fun. In fact, the most difficult shows to shoot often yield the most exciting results because they are unpredictable and unique.
