There’s definitely a feminist and queer-friendly quality to some of the early figures Garbus found inspiring–Patti Smith, Ani DiFranco and Nina Simone. Her new single, “Look at Your Hands” is a 1980s throwback production coming from wanting the vocals to sound robotic to counter the sincerity of her lyrics.
