Known for their collaborations with Ani DiFranco, Amanda Palmer, Neil Gaiman, Mirah, and more, from May 2010 to December 2014 Boekbinder stopped performing. Instead, Boekbinder volunteered as a teacher at New Folsom Prison and focused on writing. “I wrote about feminism/violence against women, privilege, and prison abolition” says Boekbinder. “This album is the least and most personal – It feels terrifyingly vulnerable.”
“I Am Yesterday” is the intimate and eloquent new single from Zoe Boekbinder. Each new layer introduced throughout the piece presents a purposeful and deliberate use of dynamics that pulls the listener deeper into Boekbinder’s exposed and raw storytelling. The song was released by Righteous Babe Records on July 21 and co-produced by friends/labelmates Gracie and Rachel.
“This song is about losing a friendship and being cut off from that person without a chance at resolution or reconciliation. It’s about being shunned and being cast as a villain in someone’s story,” says Boekbinder.
