class="content__text" @abookof @kimbramusic COLLECTORS PRINT ISSUE⁠ ⁠ If Kimbra were a book, she would be the Pulitzer Prize winning novel THE OVERSTORY by Richard Powers. “It’s really just a meditation on trees, but from all these different walks of life, people living at different times and they basically do a deep dive. It’s rooted in real life but the theory is, the trees are the heartbeat of our whole world and as they die, we will die. They’re trying to save the trees and various things are happening and different love stories that are going on and different families that are interacting with these trees. At the core of who I am, I am a forest girl. I grew up in New Zealand with volcanoes around me and lakes. That’s how I first learned to write music – sitting on the edge of my father’s boat driving across a lake. It looks like glass – the volcano in the distance, New Zealand forest everywhere. And honestly, I’ve always felt very close to trees. And that’s sort of my calm, contemplative side, like I have this crazy side. I feel like if I was a book, I think it would have to explore imagination and inner worlds, and maybe nature. So that’s a very beautiful poetic book about our relationship with our natural world.”⁠ ⁠ Special Thanks to the team below⁠ Photographer / EIC: @graphicsmetropolis⁠ Producer/Interview: @louielouie16⁠ Styling: @alexisbergens⁠ Makeup: @christophermilesmakeup⁠ Hair: @phil_nathaniel using @oribe⁠ Photo Asst: @jessezapatero⁠ Graphics Designer: @philteredphoto⁠ Special Thanks @theorielco⁠ #ABookOf #Kimbra

class="content__text" @abookof @kimbramusic: ⁠ “VOWS being the first album, is this amalgamation of all my childhood experiments with little loop pedals, eight tracks from the age of 16, kind of a lot of joke songs that I didn’t think could go anywhere, and then developed into fully fleshed out ideas. THE GOLDEN ECHO is like my teenage years. I’m going to experiment with maximalism, density. I’m going to get my favorite high school bands to play on the record like from Queens of the Stone Age to Muse to the Mars Volta. Then of course, PRIMAL HEART becomes a record about me trying to uncover something essential, like coming back to these primal origins of what is most essential to the human condition. You’ve got songs like HUMAN and TOP OF THE WORLD, which is so much of my ego and I think of it as a slightly more tame record than THE GOLDEN ECHO but was still very much a big part of me discovering, continuing to find my voice. Then A RECKONING is an exploration of rage and anger and vitality and protest. Every album has its theme and they are like time capsules.” ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Incredible team behind the shoot:⁠ Photographer / EIC: @graphicsmetropolis⁠ Producer/Interview: @louielouie16⁠ Styling: @alexisbergens⁠ Makeup: @christophermilesmakeup⁠ Hair: @phil_nathaniel using @oribe⁠ Photo Asst: @jessezapatero⁠ Graphics Designer: @philteredphoto⁠ Special Thanks @theorielco⁠ #ABookOf #Kimbra ⁠ ⁠
