To mark the release of “Get Over Here,” alyandaj took a moment to chat—with each other, for us—about everything from how to turn trauma into music, to their joint crush on St. Vincent.
Reinvention is a tough look to pull off—especially in a revolving door industry— but the Michalka sisters make it look easy. You know them assister act that filled your iPod Mini with chart toppers like “Potential Breakup Song.” After a ten-year hiatus triggered by the trauma and overstimulation of early fame, the duo made a seamless return withan album of hard-hitting pop and dance floor tracks that triggered a phoenix-like revival.
AJ: I felt that way throughout most of the record, but I think that one of my favorite moments was when we were laying down the music for “Slow Dancing,” and we had all the guys in the room at once. I think recording with live musicians in a space that is full of history —you look up and you see photos of The Doors recording— and you’re like, “Holy shit, Jim Morrison was singing in this same room.
AJ wears Jacket by Isabel Marant. Denim Pants by Dorothee Schumacher. Bracelets and Earrings by Pamela Love. Rings by Lady Grey. Sunglasses by Garret Leight. ALY: And all about sustainability and inclusivity and, “We’re not going to just have what your ideal vision of a model is. We’re going to show you what people look like wearing our clothes,” and I love that.AJ: It’s busy work that takes you out of the creative. Every single thing we do ends up having to answer the question, “What is the social that follows this?”
