As soon as I get to the door of Tenants of the Trees, an infamous bar in Los Angeles’ Silver Lake neighborhood, I realize I’m not on the list. But when I tell the doorman I’m with Uffie, who’s deejaying inside, he unbuckles the velvet rope and ushers me in. “She’s a legend,” he says., on which she apathetically rapped in a vague British accent over Paris-made party beats, set the tone for much of the music and style that is currently trending, even though it was released 12 years ago.
“The Sunshine Factory to me was an experience that I was fantasizing about,” she tells me over grilled octopus and a bottle of orange wine at a restaurant down the street from the fundraiser. The name came to her during the pandemic in a vision with the image of a gray rainbow. Initially, she wasn’t sure if it was a brand, a party, an album, or something else. So she started with an album, her first in 12 years, out on May 20 on Toro y Moi’s Company Records.
A few years later, she got a divorce and moved to Seattle to be closer to her sister. Then, something happened she hadn’t expected or even thought she wanted. She was drawn back to music, moving with her two kids to Los Angeles, where she started to dip her toe in the world of songwriting, including co-writing Pink’s track “Hurts 2B Human” with Khalid. The work fit in well with motherhood, giving her the stability and schedule to stay close to her children.
It's a legendary album 🥰
