Amid all the apparent quiet of a small village that I remember so well, a new feature had appeared: a well-used road.

Their opportunity came in 2021, when they purchased a Craftsman-style home built in 1919 from a Pacific Ready-Cut kit in Long Beach’s Craftsman Village Historic District, a community of narrow streets, vintage homes and wide, well-used porches.

“That’s kind of what the music has been about; posing questions and not trying to be the font of knowledge,” the singer says, perched on a stool in his nearly empty house, a guitar case containing his well-used 1991 Gibson Dove acoustic at his feet.

The band is anchored from a high rocky cliff at one end, near the start of a well-used hiking trail, and a tall steel support drilled into the flat desert at the other.

To improve her mental health, she went on her second ever run on a well-used road in the daytime.
