This prolific songwriting continued throughout our work together.
By the next morning she had written a few more songs based on her experience the previous day. I thought we would record one song but we ended up working on several in just one day. I think Aaron and I are both attracted to weirdness in music, and we instinctively went after that without really even talking about it.” For his part, Dessner reflects on the first day of their collaboration: “Eve came up to visit the studio for a day a few years ago when she was 16. “I don’t really care for songs that flow just right or have a perfect cadence-I’d rather there be some sort of unnerving element to them. “I’ve often felt a bit uncomfortable in myself, and I love how that came out in the music,” says Owen. Produced by Dessner at Long Pond Studio (a converted old farmhouse deep in the Hudson Valley), Don’t Let the Ink Dry finds Owen embracing her affinity for folk music while pursuing the endless possibilities in electronic experimentation. As she discovered an entirely new sense of freedom and belonging, Owen devised a sonic language all her own: frenetic yet delicate, mercurial yet nuanced enough to capture the most ephemeral of feelings. During that time, the 20-year-old artist spent her summer holidays writing and recording in New York with The National’s Aaron Dessner, immersing herself in a creative exploration that provided welcome refuge from her sometimes-troubled school life. The debut album from British singer/songwriter Eve Owen, Don’t Let the Ink Dry, is a work of raw sensitivity and uncontained imagination, brought to life over the course of three transformative years. Red + Blue Ink Splatter Vinyl LP, strictly limited to 300 copies worldwide, sleeve signed by Eve Owen.
