For Maya Stoner, Floating Room and her music has been an outlet for her to discuss trauma and events that have transpired in her life, events that have impacted her in both negative and positives ways. On Floating Room's debut release, Sunless, Stoner put together an album that delved into a tumultuous experience of being in an abusive relationship, while also opening up about happiness and love found in a new one. On Floating Room's sophomore release, False Baptism, Stoner and co. crafted a record that once again delves into past traumas, but this time from a new perspective. In this episode, Dan sat down with Maya to discuss the city of Portland, OR, Floating Room's most recent release False Baptism, the 2016 release Sunless, and the experiences that influenced and shaped her writing for both albums. Dan and Maya also talked about their amazing dogs-Butters and Oki-as well as psychedelic drugs.
