As well as her four full-length releases, Annie Clark explains how she wrote and recorded 2012’s Love This Giant, her collaborative album with David Byrne.

“I constantly take experiences and write about them,” Clark explains of her songwriting. “That’s just how I function, how I make sense of the universe and how I like to live.

“I just like to work,” she admits. “I don’t need scented candles and incense in the studio. I just get to work, it’s not brain surgery, you know?”
