Meg Elsier reflects on album-making process ahead of new record

Meg Elsier’s album Spiitake is slated to release on Friday, June 28

Meg Elsier recently revealed her new album and plans for the future.

The Nashville-based indie rocker, who is energized and enthusiastic ahead of her album release on Friday, June 28, reflected on her limited experience in the studio.

Elsier, who studied music with a foundational understanding of most instruments, said: “Recording and writing it was so different and kind of happened at two different points. I had a lot of demos that I made that were vocal and guitar. I would logic pitch my guitar, which sounded horrible, but it kind of gave it some form.”

Speaking of her collaboration with a close friend Ryan McFadden on Spittake, Elsier explained: “Ryan, who’s my producer, is also a really good friend. I knew him before we made music together.”

She said that she wasn’t very confident entering the studio as “it just felt immediately natural and the best fit.”

“Not that I have a lot of experience with collaborating. I think that’s why I kind of put off making a record because it’s scary and horrible, and I wasn’t comfortable with it. So yeah, I just got lucky I found the right dude to make music with,” she added.
