BIOGRAPHY

sleepwalker is an album

Correspondingly, Post was very active in the recording process, playing guitar, bass and piano, while a cast of other musicians helped her fill out the sound and collectively build the sonic textures that support this expansive collection of music. “There was a lot of collaboration in the studio: Some songs we built from the ground up and for other songs, I had a very clear idea in my head…
