.kingprincess69 talks her new album, HoldOnBaby, knives, and the queer tapestry of New York.
. But we’re also talking Highsmith because we’re gay and we’re in downtown Manhattan at a bar that’s been around since 1916. Really old bars have a certain palpable orphic aura about them, and especially bars in New York. It’s a city with, as Straus says, “a beautiful history — a queer tapestry.”
“The original Facebook was just lesbians writing their names down on a tablecloth,” Straus tells me of the lesbian speakeasies Highsmith frequented, part of that tapestry.was “huge” for Straus when she was in high school and “feeling unrequited love.” Highsmith’s text is rare queer representation from the ’50s, Straus explains: “We struggle now. And this bitch managed. She wrotewith a happy ending, under a pseudonym, Claire Morgan.
Though she moved to Los Angeles when she was 17, Straus has that unmistakable, rascally NYC kid demeanor — at ease but on guard; comfortable but questioning. She raises her eyebrow at me when I tell her which songs fromare my favorites and says, “You’re telling me you hate my album?” Which, obviously, I don’t.
As for the gorgeous song with Wilson’s name in it from Straus’ new album — the incredibly sexy, impassioned one with the whistles and saxophone and the repeated, “Oh Quinn, oh Quinn” — “Winter Is Hopeful”? At first, Wilson was upset. “But then she heard it and was like, ‘That’s a good song. This is really good, Mikaela.’”which has an almost pop-punk R&B sound, like it was made for driving around mad at the world. “Winter Is Hopeful” is sultrier than anything else on.
“plays saxophone like somebody who doesn’t play the saxophone. He makes it sound like everything and nothing.” Straus programmed the drums, Gruska helped with synths, and mixer Sean Everett “took it to an entire other level.” For Straus, who was raised on studio production, mixing with Everett was a highlight. And it happened while Straus’ dad, who built his own studio, Mission Sound, was in the room: “My sweet, sweet dad was in the studio, walking around.
