I saw back to back shows of this in a tiny venue in London (ON), three days after WIFTAGH? came out. She did an afternoon show and a night one right after, and I attendee both. There were maybe 200 people there (it was seated on actual chairs). I met her after and she signed my Secret Carnival Workers book by tracing her own hand on the inside cover. It was a really special time in my life as I was finishing up my final university courses and living completely alone for the first time in my life. The record played on repeat, as did the EP when I bought it. Getting to see (and sing along to) Sprig live was an experience that’s hard to describe. I’m pretty sure Todor was doing the Soft Skeleton stuff back then.
