She is perhapsbest known for inspiring and performing the very first NPR Tiny Desk Concert, but overfive albums and several collaborations, she has quietly established herself as one of themost compelling lyricists of our time. A wisdom-seeker in the lineage of Leonard Cohen,she is a keen observer of our shared humanity—of grief and humor, of desire andforgiveness, of strength and frailty. At the center of it all is her honest and otherworldlyvoice. “She has this uncanny way of drawing you into her ruminations, making youconnect with her emotionally,” said Pitchfork. The Fader called her 2018album,Goners,"So incessantly beautiful that one cannot help but want to gently crackit open to get to its beating core.”Between albums three and four,Gibsonearned anMFA in writing from Hunter College, completing her thesis in the back of a tour van. Heressays have appeared in Talkhouse, the Los Angeles Review and Oregon HumanitiesMagazine, and she was a 2020 recipient of the McElheny Award from MIT for her workthe Timber Wars podcast. She recently performed her first stand-up comedy set. She isvery slowly working on a book. In 2027, she will release her first album in nearly nineyears.</p>
