Episode Synopsis

Carly Taich didn't post anything on social media, light a candle in mourning or plan a post-pandemic farewell tour. She had devoted her young adult life to her own fearless folk pop, as she calls it. She had made two full albums over the previous eight years, And sometime in the middle of 2018, at age 27, she'd prepared herself to say goodbye to music altogether. 'I was very uncomfortable with the industry of music. It just got to be a toxic relationship," Taich said. "The toxicity comes from not enjoying performing anymore, not wanting to write, comparing myself to everyone, like not even being able to enjoy other people's music because it was always a contest."
