With Faultline, Mina Roth looks back on one of the hardest chapters of her life and finds new meaning in the songs that came from it. We spoke with Mina about vulnerability, finding community in Charleston, and becoming a more confident artist on the other side.

With “Schoolbags,” Maddie Regent turns a reflection on childhood innocence into something tender, cinematic and deeply personal. She talks finding her way back to imagination, writing from grief instead of anger, and embracing the parts of herself she once tried to hide.
