Squirrel Flower Doesn’t Want To Make It Easy

Things haven’t gotten easier for Squirrel Flower’s Ella O'Connor Williams, and that’s not a bad thing. I first interviewed Williams over six years ago, as an Artist To Watch, before she became an established Chicago-based musician, put out three albums on Polyvinyl Records, and led an important boycott against one of the industry’s biggest music festivals. As a musician, her writing has only gotten stronger, her voice more dynamic, her vision more expansive. But in terms of artistry, not much has changed. That’s a good thing. Williams continues to be a fierce songwriter, documenting the spaces and landscapes she moves through and moving her spirit in return.
