SASAMI Interview

Sasami Ashworth

Photo by Alice Baxley

SASAMI (Sasami Ashworth) has been making music in the Los Angeles area, in almost every way you can, for the last decade. Between playing keys, bass, and guitar within Cherry Glazerr and Dirt Dress; contributing vocal, string, and horn arrangements to studio albums (Vagabon, Curtis Harding, Wild Nothing, Hand Habits, etc.); arranging for films and commercials; and even playing French horn in an orchestra; plus teaching music to students and producing for other artists, she has gained a reputation as an all-around musical badass. SASAMI’s wide-ranging debut self-titled continues her amazing technical prowess as she soars with a body of work that is both scintillating and captivating… We talk to SASAMI about working with her brother, Fleetwood Mac and going to the beach …

TSH: Following your time in Cherry Glazerr, was it liberating becoming a solo artist and having control over everything?

SASAMI: Liberating and stressful. It can be hard dealing with all of the administrative side of essentially owning a small business. I will definitely continue to make collaborative works alongside my solo stuff.

TSH: Has it been quite cathartic to be so open and frank with stark representations from your personal life?

SASAMI: Definitely. It took a lot of practice and growing up to get to a point of knowing myself well enough to not care what other people think.

TSH: After being so immersed in music study, how did you get to a place where you were not overthinking?

SASAMI: I owe a lot of that growth to my time in Cherry Glazerr. We improvised and experimented a lot as a band, and it helped me get to a place where I didn’t give quite such a shit.

TSH: You have previously taught music to young children, how has that experience informed you and your own music?

SASAMI: I’m not sure how it has affected my music per se, but the confidence and energy that I had to muster while preparing to teach multiple classes a day has definitely been like a Boot Camp for playing live shows. Also, I always had to be accountable to my school and fellow teachers, so I created a high standard for myself, in terms of what I wanted to achieve in one performance or lesson.

TSH: What’s the backstory regarding a song like ‘Pacify My Heart’?

SASAMI: You meet, you fuck, you catch feelings, you kind of wish you never met. Rinse and repeat.

TSH: Also, what led to you sequencing ‘Turned out I Was Everyone’ as the album closer?

SASAMI: That was the last song I wrote and recorded from the batch of songs that became the record. It was also a meditation at the end of a year of traveling, flings, and writing songs. It was also nice to go back to playing synths after a record of primarily guitar.

TSH: You worked with your brother on this record too. Can you tell us about working with family and why Japanese peanuts were important during your working process…

SASAMI: Everyone has their little thing that keeps them going, and for Joojoo Japanese peanuts and beer were sometimes just that thing to keep up morale and get us through. I loved working with him. Joojoo is a genius and his band, Froth, have a new album out now! Listen to it!

TSH: What sort of memories come to mind when you listen to Fleetwood Mac?

SASAMI: Going to a huge stadium show in Rochester, New York with Carol and Barb, the lunch ladies at my college, freshman year. Hearing my dad play it on the radio as a baby. Mick’s idiosyncratic drum fills. Every white chick at karaoke singing mediocre versions of Dreams. Hearing the USC marching band in Tusk for the first time in middle school and thinking that being in band was the coolest.

TSH: What makes the Zvex Fuzzolo an essential tool for you to have when you play live?

SASAMI: It is a great, small pedal for lead tones. It’s very versatile and has a pretty cool gated sound at certain output volumes.

TSH: What’s downtime like for yourself outside of music?

SASAMI: Usually going to the beach. I like looking at the tiny crabs on the rocks. Recently I spent some time in freshwater and a couple rivers in Vermont, and I like that a lot. I am such a water sign.

TSH: Who’s responsible for the awesome ‘Sasami salami’ t-shirt design?

SASAMI: My friend Luke Thomas drew it! It is a way to capitalize on a nickname that bullies made up in elementary school!

TSH: Finally, what is your biggest drive with your music as you look ahead?

SASAMI: I am excited to work on some programmed and sample drums and do a little bit of experimenting with my vocal range and flexibility! Also, a lot more touring, haha!

Video: Froth, ‘Sensitive Girl’

“Outside (briefly)” sets itself apart from Froth‘s previous albums, “Patterns” and “Bleak” both in its instrumentation and inspiration. The Thomas Dolas-produced record is more atmospheric than psychedelic, a melodic shoegaze collection of songs that finds JooJoo Ashworth, Cameron Allen, Jeremy Katz and Nick Ventura incorporating cello, synths, Rhodes, keys and drum machines. The latter serve as…
