SXSW 2022: IAN SWEET

This band is playing after Runnner at the Paste party on Friday.  More bedroom dream pop.  It's the moniker of Jilian Medford.  She's originally from the San Fernando Valley, went to Berklee College of Music, and is now in L.A.  

She has just released her third album.  According to Pitchfork:

Instead of pairing up with a single producer, she tapped several different ones, including Andrew Sarlo (Big Thief) and Chris Coady (Beach House), matching them to the mood or emotional weight of a track. “I wasn’t trying to make everything all at once because I didn’t have the capacity to do that,” she says.

The result sounds lighter and more spacious than her previous work, as if she’s floating.

She plays at 3pm Friday.
