Laetitia Tamko, aka Vagabon, doesn’t tend to keep things to herself. Just last week on social media, she was sharing her glee at visiting London’s tourist hot-spots (Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and Dishoom, FYI). While on tour, she’s always open about her struggle to maintain level-headedness and good mental health.

Re-released in the UK next month, after picking up word-of-mouth success in the U.S., the album finds triumph in putting brutally honest thoughts to tape. And she’s equally honest about her ambition of breaking through the indie, guitar-led confines of this brilliant first work.

And even though it’s the best job I’ve ever had, it’s still a job, and it’s hard. I started running a lot. I’m not a typical runner. It’s been really good for my self-care and mental health. There are other things, but I’m trying to find a formula of what works for me, because I think it’s different for everyone – what they want to do, how often they want to tour.
