HUSHPUPPY is the solo passion project of Zoë Brecher, a NYC-based musician. She is best known for her work as a drummer and has played with Palehound, Sad13, Oberhofer, Kalbells, Sammus, Bachelor, SASAMI, King Tuff and Oceanator, among others, and most recently with Benson Boone from American Idol. As someone who suffers from anxiety and depression, I often struggle to leave the house. This song is about acknowledging I’m not the only one who feels that way. Although it’s a tough subject, it’s a hopeful song. It starts with me singing alone, feeling small, then shifts to a virtual ensemble of people singing with me who feel the same. We are stronger together, and by the end there’s a sense of hope and clarity -- yet slight unease -- that by working with each other we can help one another. There’s power in knowing I’m not alone and I hope you can feel that in the song. ABOUT HUSHPUPPY: For HUSHPUPPY, Brecher writes and records all of the music herself from her apartment in Manhattan.
