Baker's Dozen

Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

11. Buffy Sainte-MarieIlluminations

I love it. I love that song ‘Poppies’ in particular. It’s very transcendental, it feels fearless. It makes me feel strong when I listen, and that’s a very rare feeling. I appreciate that she did [the electronic experimentation]. It’s amazing to shift away from a hegemonic and monolithic narrative. I feel super grateful that she’s done that for so many people, created these pathways.
