From Allegra:
“This collection of songs is representative of the ways that I have grown, not only as a musician but also as a queer woman. Although my lyrics don’t actively talk about how I’ve worked towards a clearer voice, the overall voice and sound of the tracks seem clarify this for me. This is part of why I’ve named the EP “my legs are growing”: partially because “Legs” is a childhood nickname of mine, partially because this EP shows my progress as a music-maker. It’s also slightly a joke because I’m super short and my legs aren’t actually growing any more!”

At
this point, “Broken World Media kills it yet again” has become one of the most
frequently used phrases in my vernacular. The Pittsburgh, PA label-headed by
Derrick Shanholtzer-Dvorak of The World is a Beautiful Place & I am No
Longer Afraid to Die -has consistently put out some of the best (though often
underappreciated) releases in modern emo, punk, and indie over the past couple
of years. And with the release of Yes Yes A Thousand Times Yes’ debut record, “Not
Once, Not Never,” that phrase continues to apply.
