Allison Weiss: The Autostraddle Interview
23.05.12

Hello, internet! Allison Weiss is a musician that you probably know, whether you know it or not. It's possible you listened to the default song on Tumblr , or perhaps you've seen her swoon-worthy cover of " Call Your Girlfriend ," or maybe you really have a thing for girls with guitars and short haircuts (but who doesn't, really). Regardless, Allison Weiss is a successful musician who, with a previously released EP and a full-length album , has created a signature sound that is entirely her own: a sort of folk-pop-rock-emo glorious headfuck thing. She is the kind of musician you will probably fall in love with, is what I'm saying. She's very charming.
Currently working on several large-scale projects, it will likely be a few months before she releases her new album. But! Her new EP "I Was An Island" is available right now, right this second in digital form on Bandcamp and iTunes and in a hard-copy form at her online store . You guys, it's a really good EP. Like, really good. It has more plays in my iTunes library than any Tegan and Sara song, and with good reason. It's emotional and fun and dance-y and the sort of thing you can listen to on repeat. If Allison Weiss albums were candy bars, then the "I Was An Island" EP would be a Take 5, because it's full of a lot of little things that are good on their own but that work together to make one really great, mouth-watering thing.
