failing to record a single (margot makes a pretty darn good EP, "ep. 0")

Nov. 17, 2025

Totally one of those learning moments, y'all.

I originally began recording this video back in March at a time where I was hoping to get into my school's studio to record and release my song, Downy Hair, as a single. I had a band just about ready to get moving to recording some orchestrations for the piece, but unfortunately, at just about every turn, something worked against getting this thing made.

I believe to know why at this point.

Just about 6 months after this experience, I worked with a good friend of mine, Harry, on a whim in late August. I'm happy to say that since, we've become entrenched in ACTUALLY recording a full, 5 track EP.

These are my songs. Pieces that are personal and really special to me. Songs that I've been gigging with the past year or so, honing and building up.

I can't wait for you to hear the full thing in just a few months. But until then, I've decided to create a series of diaries, exploring each track's recording process and some of the stories behind them.

Downy Hair wasn't meant to be recorded last March, it honestly just hadn't matured quite yet. But now?

We'll just have to see, won't we?

I hope that you enjoy, this one was fun to make as a look back, and as I now start up these episodes in earnest haha

Always yours,

Margot
