We talk with Canadian artist Abigail Lapell about her recent album Stolen Time. Abigail tells us that writing melodies, for her, is “like breathing…I can’t avoid it”, while lyric writing she finds more challenging, as she struggles to find the language to express the moods and feelings her melodies carry-“…words are ...very definite…” We also hear tales of canoes and bicycles, guitar for dummies, and walls of reeds.
