Diaz's second album looks backward on some aspects of the Girl in a Coma sound.
"If you see the early Girl in a Coma interviews through today, you see the progression of me," she said."I would never talk." The sonic shift also will be reflected in future live dates, Diaz said. She plans to play her guitar throughout the set, unlike shows supporting her solo debut, which found Diaz without her six-string for the first time in her live career.Homespun releaseI Could Be You
Diaz elaborated that she'd always liked the sound of the demos she cut to show her songs to other members of Girl in a Coma. The rough sketches reflected a lack of pressure — something starkly different from a band recording in a by-the-hour studio setting.Also adding to her confidence, Diaz said a series of covers-only releases she put out during the pandemic helped hone her songwriting.
"That 13-year-old in me is like, 'What the fuck are you doing?'" she said."I'm nurturing myself through this."
