Closing off this season of I HATE MYSELF is singer/songwriter Jenny Owen Youngs. Youngs' notable works include the albums Batten the Hatches, Transmitter Failure, and An Unwavering Band of Light, the single "Fuck Was I," and the recent hit "High Hopes," co-written by her. Youngs discusses why she recently moved from Los Angeles to Maine, and she contemplates the fatal contract that we often make with our anxiety: embracing it for the sake of the (terrifying) motivation it provides and how it goads us at our work. She, Joe, and Wade offer ideas on how artists can break free of that contract, and make productivity more bearable for ourselves.
Jenny Owen Youngs' newest, critically-acclaimed EP, Echo Mountain, is out now.
