"When I found out that Zosia Mamet formed a band with her sister, Clara, I shouted out more abbreviations than her Cinnabon-coiffed, emoji-loving character on GIRLS. Zosia took time out of her busy film schedule to tell us what&amp;#x27;s to come from the Cabin Sisters. Listen in! Glamour: How&amp;#x27;d you come up with the name of your band, the Cabin Sisters? Zosia Mamet: All of us Mamet children were born in Vermont and spent our first few years at our home there. Our dad has a wood cabin on the property that he built with a dear family friend when he first bought the house, and he&amp;#x27;s written most of his great works in that cabin. It&amp;#x27;s a truly magical place. We named our band after that&amp;amp;#8212;we&amp;#x27;re sisters of the cabin. Glamour: What made you two decide to form a band? ZM: My sister and I were super sick of all the music that had been coming out. We felt like a lot of music had lost some of the soul that it used to have, and we wanted to recapture that. We never thought we could write music&amp;amp;#8212;we were just planning on doing covers. Clara came over with her banjo one day for our first &amp;quot;band practice,&amp;quot; and a few hours later, kind of by accident, we had our first song. It was &amp;quot;Bleak Love.&amp;quot; We&amp;#x27;d both just had our hearts incredibly broken, and the song kind of flowed out of both of our current intense heartache. No better material than an achin&amp;#x27; heart! Glamour: How would you describe your sound? ZM: We definitely both have an incredibly soft spot for bluegrass and wanted to try and give that sound some justice. I&amp;#x27;d say there&amp;#x27;s definitely a quirky indie vibe to our sound, but really, we just write what comes out of us. We&amp;#x27;re not trained musicians and only started making music together about two years ago, so I wouldn&amp;#x27;t say we&amp;#x27;re necessarily one kind of music or another. Glamour: Who are your musical influences? ZM: Gillian Welch and the Watkins Family Hour have been huge influences on us, and David Byrne is a hero to us both. Also, the Beatles. Duh! Really, anything with a banjo, so the list goes on. Glamour: What are the subjects of your songs? ZM: 9.9 times out of 10, they&amp;#x27;re about heartbreak and abusive boyfriends. Not super original in that department, but again, it makes for the best material. Glamour: OK, so who plays what? ZM: Clara plays the banjo, and we both sing. Glamour: What is your relationship like? ZM: We share a brain. I often feel like we&amp;#x27;re just one large jellyfish pretending to be two people. She&amp;#x27;s my best friend in the whole world. Glamour: So when can we expect to hear the Cabin Sisters&amp;#x27; EP or some of your songs? ZM: Hopefully super soon! We recorded our EP last summer, and we&amp;#x27;re hoping to release it on iTunes in the coming months. Glamour: When you&amp;#x27;re not making music, how do you two like to spend your time together? ZM: We both adore thrift stores and love odd rare finds. We have some secret ones outside of the city that we take day trips to sometimes. We also both love the movies and will often spend a whole day at the theater for a triple feature with a hamburger break in the middle. Glamour: If Shoshanna were to start a band, what would it be called? ZM: It totally depends on the genre of music. Clara and I have a game we play called Good Bad Band Names. We came up with the band name Sexual Blueprint while filming the scene where I lost my virginity at the end of season one, and to this day it remains one of my favorite good bad band names. I think if Shoshanna had a female punk band, that&amp;#x27;s what it would be called.
