little bit on “Long Drive:”
“I wrote “long drive” when I was falling in love with the west coast, reluctantly straddling both ends of the country and feeling very emotionally bi-costal. I’d been traveling and living semi-nomadically for a year, and the idea of committing to a single place was overwhelming, but I felt a draw to the mountains and coast line in Oregon and California that I couldn’t quiet. Moving from Boston, a city where I had lifelong friends, family, an established band, and a vibrant music scene felt like turning my back on my roots and abandoning a place I truly loved. But the idea of starting over in a new city was exciting and scary, and I knew that if I didn’t leave the place I grew up to write a new chapter, I’d always regret it.
Serendipitously, this song also revealed itself to me as a metaphor for my reluctance to plant roots in other people. The verses and pre-choruses of long drive are laced with skepticism, while the choruses are a full surrender, a desire to jump into the unknown and take a new experience as it comes.”
little bit formerly known as Lilith, has toured and performed with Frankie Cosmos, Xiu Xiu, Chastity Belt, Snail Mail, The Hold Steady, Porches, Horse Jumper of Love, Slaughter Beach Dog, Pom Pom Squad, Fiddlehead, Diet Cig, Squirrel Flower, Lomelda, and more.
talk a blue streak is something of a celebration of the cathartic release that comes with being honest and not holding back. Liuzzo wrote this EP when she was in the throes of feeling like she was an emotional burden, “when I felt that my feelings were ‘too much, feeling embarrassed that I was too needy or too sof’. It’s about giving in to your gut instinct that tells you to reply, that tells you to speak up, that tells you let go, that tells you to leave things uncomfortable or messy if that feels right to you.”
