#86 - Colleen Dow

When I found out that Colleen Dow was working on a solo project,
I knew instantly that it would be a huge success. The amount of
time and care that Colleen puts into all of their songs just
tells the story. Colleen is one of the most passionate musicians
out there. This solo project is no different. Abe Anderson
(Niiice/Thank You, I'm Sorry) joined forces with Colleen to
create this emo-pop masterpiece. There will be five songs coming
our way and will come out in six week increments. Colleen knew
that they wanted to do something different from Thank You, I'm
Sorry. Colleen and Abe heavily experimented trying to come up
with new production ideas -- even went into Abe's garage and
clanged wrenches together during one of the songs. 


Colleen is always writing, there was a period of time where they
were writing 10 songs a month. They knew that all of the songs
didn't fit the sound of Thank You, I'm Sorry and could be used
elsewhere. That is when this solo adventure began. Colleen talks
about how we live in an age where there is acceptance behind
working on one's self. There is a more comfortable space where
people can be heard. Music has turned into somewhere where
Colleen can channel their feelings. It's a big reason why they
make so many songs. Although, Colleen will admit that there isn't
always a full understanding of their emotions until hearing the
song back.


Throughout this episode we also chat about Thank You, I'm Sorry,
being told that 18-years-old is too old to start in music, and
being found by Count Your Lucky Stars on Reddit. Check out
