EMILY YACINA DB COOPER

Emily Yacina has been making and releasing music since she was 14, and with here new compilation record All The Things, due out July 29 via Danger Collective Records, she takes a look back on the last ten years of songwriting. 'DB Cooper' is a Jay Som-produced track from the album, a gentle and meditative about grief and the loss of a friend, "This song is about the experience of losing my dear friend and musical collaborator Eric Littmann in July of 2021," Emily says. "He was a master story-teller, and the last time I saw him in L.A. he told me the story of D.B. Cooper with such life and vivaciousness. The song itself is about losing him, and how grief forces you to stop whatever you're doing and re-evaluate your life. It's also about finding meaning when that person is gone- even when it seems like an impossible thing to do." -Toby Evans-Jesra
