Lorely Rodriguez, the artist known as Empress Of, recorded her new album, Us, all over Southern California. Topanga Canyon. Ojai. At a recording studio "with no windows." At her home in Highland Park. At another recording studio "with a really loud cricket." "He was there, like, all month," she says, "And I was trying to track vocal tracks and he'd be like, CHIRP, CHIRP!"
It was the first time she tried to record music this way-sequestered, for a month at a time, in between touring and performing, alone but for the company of a cricket. She would later invite collaborators-Dev Hynes (aka Blood Orange), LA production duo Sam Griesemer and Jerome Potter of DJDS, Spanish electronic producer Pional-but the resulting project remains a showcase of Rodriguez' skill both as a lyricist and a producer, though she is wont to admit it. The artist is modest about her skills as a instrumentalist ("Lorely plays every instrument half-assed," she says, "Put that in the bio.") and coy about her process as a writer ("I don't write out chords for my songs. Everything is intuitive in production. I don't have one piece of sheet music for my songs.")
