Welcome The Worms

الوصف

Los Angeles-based sister duo Jennifer and Jessie Clavin knew that things were going to be different for theirband Bleached sophomore LP Welcome The Worms . Not only had they managed to charm world renownedproducer and engineer, Joe Chiccarelli (Morrissey, The Strokes, Elton John) to join the sisters and theirbassist Micayla Grace in the studio, but Jen and Jessie had been crawling out of their own personal dramas.Jessie was evicted from her house and scrambling, while Jen ended a torrid, unhealthy romance. Whileemotionally spinning, she dove head first into music. She struggled and escaped the pressures with drinkingand partying, sometimes to excess, feeling like she was losing herself altogether."I was a loose canon," the commanding front woman says. "I was losing serious control of my personal andcreative life. I was falling apart, trying to escape. I felt like Bleached was the only thing I actually caredabout."The 10-song LP was born out of triple the amount of demos. Sometimes the three girls spent time writing ata remote house in Joshua Tree away from the seemingly destructive city (a first since bassist Micayla hadnever contributed to songwriting on previous releases). Other times Jen and Jessie worked alone, just likewhen they were teenaged punk brats playing in their parent's San Fernando Valley garage imitating theirheroes The Slits, Black Flag and Minor Threat.
