KC Rae of Now Now — live event
When KC Dalager began writing songs again in 2018, it marked the start of what would become one of the most difficult periods of her life. She was coming to the end of two years on the road, promoting and touring with her band Now, Now in support of their critically acclaimed sophomore album, Saved, which landed them on multiple "Best Of" lists including NPR, FADER, GQ, Billboard and more, as well as sold out headline shows, festivals and support for artists like Maggie Rogers and St. Lucia. And as the cycle wound down, she began to process the last 12 years of her time in the music industry, propelling her to embark on an incredible journey of self-discovery about trauma, mental health, her own autism diagnosis and ultimately, healing and understanding. With big discoveries, came a new sense of self. KC Rae, as she goes by now, acknowledges that writing these songs started out as an attempt to regain her power. “It felt like I was writing a response to all of the times I’d been told ‘No' in my career. And to be honest, I kind of just wanted to prove that I could do something on my own, as the sole writer, musician and producer of a thing that was just mine.” However, as time went on, the solo process became much more than that; it became the timestamp of a painful yet incredible journey of confronting her own trauma and mental health struggles. Through these revelations, KC prepares to release her most personal and stripped down body of work to date, Think I’m Gonna Die, one that was indeed never meant to see the light of day.
