When it comes to navigating the path to adulthood, there’s no flight plan. You have to try things, make mistakes, and learn from them. As singer-songwriter Kylie Van Slyke – better known under their stage name Kylie V. – puts it when talking about their second album Crash Test Plane, “I’m 20 years old. I’ve watched so many things in my life happen to me that I thought were going to be the absolute end, and a week after each of those I’m like, ‘Oh my god, I’m fine.'” This kind of self-awareness may seem rare in such a young artist, but like Conor Oberst, Samia, and Christian Lee Hutson before them, Van Slyke’s version of indie folk pairs lived-in storytelling with an unmistakable knack for soul-baring.

Kylie V shares also their new single ‘Wish I Was In Bed’. Kylie on the track, “‘Wish I Was In Bed’ is a little bit of a love song to my friends and a little bit of a reminder to let myself have fun. I wrote this song in probably an hour or less while getting ready to go out; it all just kind of fell out onto a page in one piece. I was trying not to ruin a good time for myself with my own thoughts. Josh (Eastman) and I had a lot of fun putting this one together in the studio, but now that I think about it, it’s more painfully honest than fun lyrically, isn’t it…”
