Expressing Myself in Songs, with Nervous Dater

Rachel Lighter of Nervous Dater writes songs that allow her to express her perspectives and feelings, and share them with bandmates and ultimately album listeners. Call in the Mess, the band’s sophomore album, explores the thoughts and responses to living in modern America. Rachel joins this week to share how the record came together, writing songs as a band, gender identity, what’s next, and more.
