In April 2015, Kalmia Traver (Kalbells, Rubblebucket) had just come out of an intensive 2-month writing retreat with 27 songlets in hand, 10 of which would become Kalbells debut album Ten Flowers. Jeremy Malvin (Chrome Sparks) loved what she shared with him then, and the two began regular co-production sessions in his studio in Brooklyn, where classical percussion ensemble So Percussion also worked. Drawing inspiration from the abundance of acoustic sound-makers all around, Jeremy performed marimbas, cactus shakers, and massive bass drums, while Kal layered flute arpeggios, penny whistles, and saxophones through tape echo to make smooth harmonic waves of rainbow velvet layer cake. They pretended to be an orchestra. Lyrically, the Mothertime EP sees Kal processing themes she has been continually chewing on in the 6-year wake of surviving ovarian cancer and transforming a codependent relationship wither her long-time music partner Alex Toth (TOth, Rubblebucket): resilience, yielding, beckoning creativity, self-exploration, and joy."Cool and Bendable" was inspired by a dream in which she held her yet-unborn child, but as Kal finished writing the song in the studio with Jeremy, she realized it was actually about holding herself, a body, a life. "Supple, strong, funny: a person, a being," she says. "I also think I was celebrating in awe the general aliveness of our world, Earth." "Mothertime," is about her mother and their relationship, which she describes as her most cherished learning-grounds. "It's about the bewildering beauty and uncanniness of the fact that we can keep growing & changing so much, cueing off each other across our two mobius-entwined lifetimes." The EPs final two tracks, "Precipice" and "Tremble," are both about the struggle of being in a codependent relationship: the sadness of neglect, the zing of excitement during a bitter fight, the addictive explosion of energy that feels momentarily gratifying but isn't ultimately what one is searching for, truly, and the cyclical realization (and perhaps, denial) of harming oneself or others. "It's something I feel proud to have moved and grown through," she says, "and I hope writing about it can be a form of revealing the illusion, and healing."

Cute and Comfortable!
Color: GOLD METAL, Color: GOLD METAL
I love this Kendra Scott stackable gold bracelet! It’s lightweight, comfortable, and looks beautiful whether I wear it alone or layered with other pieces. The gold finish has a nice shine without looking too flashy, and it feels high-quality. It’s become one of my go-to everyday accessories!

I nice everyday bag!
I love this bag. I use it every day. I was tired of carrying around large purses. I was tired of carrying around just wallets. I needed something to be able to hold a few things that was ease of use. This bag really did that for me it has 2 pockets one side I keep my phone in among some paper documents. The other side has spots for a few cards and whatever else you would like to put inside. It’s light weight and the strap is super cute and the design as a whole is great. Definitely worth the money for this style.

Great Bag!
I used this bag all over Europe this summer! It was so easy and convenient to have access to my wallet, sunscreen, sunglasses in one spot over my best. The bag was super cute and held a lot of items. The thick strap was really good for support and even held up during the really hot days. There are a few different pockets which is helpful as well. I recommend this bag! :)
