“In talking to Zachko, I was able to learn about the creation of Mingko, and its place in their artistic development. As a mostly guitar and instrumentally-focused musician in the past, they began singing more and more often in Ski Club, and the project of Mingko now sits on the other side of that bridge, where the music lives in a more lyrical space. For artists who come from an instrumental background, that leap is a rather large one. With so much time spent honing your voice on whatever instrument you play, it can be a large challenge to hone your actual voice. I’m happy to inform you that this leap is one Zachko has made with grace, thanks to her voice’s dreamy timbre and relatable lyrics about love, anxiety, and missing the people once close to us.”
