Faye Webster loves the feeling of a first take: writing a song, then heading to the studio with her
band to track it live the very next day. When you listen to the Atlanta songwriter’s poised and
plainspoken albums, you can hear why: she channels emotions that are so aching, they seem to
be coming into existence at that very moment.

“One of my favorite things about songwriting is taking thoughts that people don’t really think are
worthy, or might overlook, and highlighting them,” Webster says. “I like saying things that
everybody thinks, but nobody’s saying”.

At any given moment, Webster might be making country-tinged indie rock flecked
simultaneously by pedal steel guitar and modern R&B production and songwriting techniques–a
bespoke sound which has won her ardent fans and turned her into something of a stealth
superstar beloved by everyone from southern hip-hop heads and alt-rock tastemakers.

The title of Faye Webster’s new album is inspired by her occasional compulsion to lose herself
amongst concertgoers at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Craving company and distraction but
also leaning into the anonymity of a bustling crowd, Webster often bought a ticket to a
performance at the last possible second. “Going to the symphony was almost like therapy for
me,” she says. “I was quite literally underdressed at the symphony because I would just decide
at the last moment that that’s what I wanted to do. I got to leave what I felt like was kind of a
shitty time in my life and be in this different world for a minute.”
