After year in his bedroom, Shy Girls sets off on short tour
“The studio is just a couple feet from my bed,” he says.
Vidmar released an early EP back in 2011 titled “Sex in the City.”
(That was all him, of course.) It wasn’t long before he’d released another EP, gone on tour with Haim and Little Dragon, collaborated with the likes of Cyril Hahn and Odesza, and pulled together a long list of indie collaborators — Antwon, Tei Shi, Rome Fortune, Junglepussy — for a mixtape.
“I never think about my music in terms of putting out a hit single or anything like that,” he says.
During the past year, Vidmar says, he’s been spending a lot of time writing and a lot of time in the studio, “so obviously new music is on the way.”
[...] he says, if the mixtape was an opportunity to collaborate, this new album pulls him back into his own head — “mostly me on my own.”
The inclination to innovate, to keep changing, is something Vidmar says he’s always felt.
[...] he adds, the entire music industry is crowded right now, it’s not just the scene he came up in a few years ago.
Everyone has access to so much music, and there’s so much stuff being pushed down your throat on Spotify or blogs or whatever it is.
People who come to the show, he says, will get a sense of where he and his music are headed.
