Did you anticipate people bringing up your old social media posts, including a 2012 post where you refer to rape, following the performance? That tweet was back from [around] high school.

It’s tempting to compare Buck Meek’s second solo LP to the latest pair of albums from his Big Thief bandmate and close collaborator Adrianne Lenker, the stunning songs and its companion instrumentals.
