Brooklyn Dream Pop artist Völuspa lets us know where to hit up in NYC
What has been your favourite live performance to date and why?
Well, I have seen Neil Young about ten times because I can’t get enough of that man, but I can’t say it’s the absolute best because I have yet to see Kate Bush. She is the queen.
Give us 5 current artists you would recommend we listen to right now (any genre you like)
My girl Jenny Hval, dream babe Weyes Blood, angel baby Amen Dunes, Brooklyn dude Sam Evian, and cinematic genius Mica Levi.
Who were you most influenced by when writing ‘Feel You’?
Pretty much every time I sit at a piano I think about Nina Simone.
What was the best pub/bar/club you’d recommend for anyone heading through Brooklyn?
Twelve step programs and meditation groups seem to be the coolest places to hang in Brooklyn.
Where’s the best place to get a pizza in New York?
Definitively Union Pizza Works in Bushwick! There’s the cutest Italian waiter there named Massimo who plays the best of the 70’s underground.
Do you prefer city life, or getting to escape into nature?
I prefer living in a city with like-minded weirdos and escaping (as much as possible) to nature.
When was the last time you had a proper holiday and where did you go?
I’ve done some silent meditation retreats and those are really the only times I get a holiday from my mind. Outside of that- I try to go to Montana quite regularly. It’s the most isolated and beautiful state in America.
