She gets into second-guessing songs like “Mostly Patient” and “Site Unseen” before pulling them back from the edge, trusting instinct even when it feels like a dead end, and how ideas can sit for years before finally clicking. There’s also talk about subtle callbacks across her catalog, turning old riffs into new songs, and working with Flea and Katie Crutchfield in a loose, live-in-the-room session. And somewhere in there, she’s still figuring out if those songs are actually talking to each other or if that’s just us connecting the dots.
