Mallory Hawk, best known as the leader of the Brooklyn punk band Customer, has shared her debut solo singles. Listen to ‘All Your Troubles’ and ‘Run Until They Catch You’ below.
“I wrote ‘All Your Troubles’ after a brief visit home to North Carolina,” Hawk explained in a statement. “I was staying in my childhood bedroom surrounded by my old tchotchkes and started trimming my bangs with a dull pair of child scissors I used all throughout grade school. I lit a candle and the nostalgia of my past felt all-consuming. I stayed up all night writing the song, veering between intensity and catharsis while confronting my guarded feelings about family tragedy.”
