Queens-based twee-extraordinaire Majorette (the project of Danielle Salomon) is dropping off her new EP, Forever Starts Tuesday and you would be wise to listen to it. In her life, Salomon has sometimes been accused of having a scarcity mindset— “there’s not enough time, not enough money, and not even close to enough olives per jar.” Yet despite her awareness of these toxic thought patterns, she struggles daily.
What’s the antidote? The internet recommends “mantras.” In her debut EP; Forever Starts Tuesday Salomon explores themes of scarcity- patience, resources, time, ultimately concluding with her own absurdly comforting mantra: “tomorrow is forever, and forever starts Tuesday.”

Produced by Katie Von Schleicher at Figure 8 Recordings, mixed and mastered by Ian “Skinny” Salazar, Forever Starts Tuesday features Eli Recht-Appel on guitar, Bianca Butler on Bass, Christopher Williams on violin and Skinny on drums. The careful listener will also hear auxiliary vocals from Katie’s pet cockatiel Ursula. Inspired by Joe Meek, the Space Lady, Skeeter Davis, and Frankie Cosmos, Forever Starts Tuesday contains retro-futuristic elements that are basically out of this world.
The EP will be available everywhere on January 25th, and Majorette will be holding an EP release show that night at The Knitting Factory at Baker Falls in New York City.
