Neptune’s Core Interview

This week, Features contributor Alyssa Edes speaks with Sofie Richter, Hannah Richter, Jackie Cywinski, and Kaitlin Cywinski of Neptune's Core, a Chicago-based indie rock band made up of two sets of sisters. They discuss using Voice Memos to build out the beginnings of their songs, post-Midwestern tornado musical inspiration, looking at songwriting from an architectural perspective, and listening to CHIRP Radio before school. 

"I remember so clearly the first time we performed at an informal open mic at Old Town School of Folk Music. And it felt so magical to be playing music and expressing myself with my best friends." Kaitlin Cywinski

"Adding onto Kaitlin, I feel like there's kind of a confidence in each other and I think being sisters and being best friends we understand each other and we can kind of almost predict what the other person's gonna do, predict how they'll feel after something. We're kinda telepathic in a sense." - Sofie Richter
