This week I spoke with Grace Park and Jesse Dalton, two members of the Austin-based band The Deer. If you listened to my recent episode with Buck Meek (of Big Thief), he recommended his fellow Texan musicians The Deer to be featured on the podcast, and I'm so glad he did. Their songs are spacious, with airy vocals and gentle percussion, and it’s a sound that compels comparisons to Fleetwood Mac, Neko Case or Mazzy Star. In this conversation, Jesse and Grace tell me about the beginning of the band, being back on the road after quarantine, their new album, and their process. We talk about trial and error, acceptance, friendship, grief, and much more. Show notes:- Check out The Deer on the Web | Bandcamp | Instagram- All of our Kits, including Katie's holiday workshops, are 22% off with the code "cosmic"- Check out Katie's one-on-one Creative Clinic- You can book a free consultation with Katie here, and if you don't see a time that works for you please email her at katie@letitouttt.com- Subscribe to our newsletter to get show notes sent straight to your inbox- Follow @letitouttt on Instagram If you liked this episode, try out:Episode 358: Two Saviors, Writing, Touring, & Surfing with Musician Buck Meek of Big ThiefEpisode 355: Musician Misty Boyce on Touring While Pregnant, Uncertainty & Change, Healing Not on Your Own Timeline, and More $ponsors:Apostrophe: Get your first online visit with a board-certified dermatologist for only $5 at apostrophe.com/LETITOUT and use our code: LETITOUT at signup!Away Travel: Start your 100-day trial and shop the entire Away lineup of travel essentials, including their best-selling suitcases, at awaytravel.com/letitout!Calm: Discover the #1 mental wellness app!
