Kyla Aiko on Anti-Matter

Thank you for this conversation! As someone who “can’t pick a favorite” anything, Thursday has been my favorite band for 20 years now, and Geoff in particular my favorite singer-songwriter. A magical quality of music is how songs and lyrics can just hit you different at different stages of your life. A lot happens between being 15 and 35, yet some part of Thursday has always resonated with me over the last two decades. I preordered SWIM the moment it was available and I was both surprised and not surprised at how poetic, raw, exciting, and real it was. There were times when I forgot it was fiction, and there were parts I would find myself praying were fictionalized because I couldn’t bear the thought of them being true. A huge congratulations to Geoff on such a wonderful literary feat.
