Additional Information
In all of my years of music journalism, I’ve had some weird interviews, but this quick little email q+a with Ishi Tishi, a newer weirdo pop/ surf three-piece made up of artists Ingrid Wissink, Jackie Gallant, and Chantal Allard, is up there.
Sometimes you’re at a loss for words when describing your own music or beginnings, or sometimes you want to stir the pot. Regardless, Ishi Tishi is presenting a rock opera called An Evening With Animals All The Animals at Suoni Per Il Popolo. When we asked them about it, they responded with emojis. Well-crafted or curated emojis? Who is to say?
