Interview by Robert Pugsley
With Ingrid Michaelson visiting our shores for her sophomore tour this September *2012*, our Robert Pugsley asked Ingrid about her new album, television and what lies ahead.
LMM: So tell me about your new album Human Again – the writing process, the recording process, working with David Kahne and what you think of the final product?
Ingrid: David Kahne pushed me to really sing. He asked me why I never sang the way I sing live on recordings. It really sparked something in me and inspired me to write songs that vocally opened me up. And that in turn allowed me to open up in all other ways too. I am very proud of Human Again. I feel like I wanted to do something bolder and stronger and I did.
LMM: Human Again has charted well and has received positive reviews, E Weekly etc so are you happy with the reception it has received?
Ingrid: I try not to put too much value in reviews, positive or negative. I just want the people who buy my records and come to my shows to love it.

A special blend of smooth, smoky, neuvo-folk will be let loose on the unsuspecting, wintry City of Brisbane with the release of thewhiskeyarchive’s self titled debut EP on August 18 at the Old Museum. From the first sip the whiskey archive will intrigue you – tantalising your tastebuds with bluesy flavour, teasing with a hint of alt-country and tipping their hat in genuine affection to the punk and goth influences from Brisbane’s music scene of the 70s and 80s. Yet just when you thought you had them pinned down, thewhiskeyarchive send sweet, poignant harmonies shivering up your spine to confound your sense of what this sound truly is.
