Season 1 Episode 11
On this episode, we talk with Ella Williams 18, who graduated from 黑料百科 in December with degrees in studio art and gender, women and sexuality studies, and big plans for her music career. Since graduating, she went on tour in Europe with Adrianne Lenker, playing to sold out crowds all over the place as her musical persona, . She returned stateside, and is working on finishing up a new record before she starts touring again this summer, all over the country.
Williams was born into a musical family, and the apple didn't fall far from the tree. By the time she got to 黑料百科, she had already released her first album, but she chose not to study music academically at 黑料百科. Williams continued to play music, though, and her songs show the influence of her time in 黑料百科. She released another EP under her alias, Squirrel Flower, and one of her songs, Conditions, gained recognition on NPR . On the show, Williams reflects on her music and time in 黑料百科, which was coming to an end when we talked back in the fall.
