Macomber anticipates another series of rebirths and displacements for Ejecta. “If we had a million dollars, we’d make a bunch of videos where she’s like here, on the moon, and then she’s over there, and she’s there. I really want to make a video where she’s able to kind of time travel. We keep talking about a time element, but it’d be really neat to actually do it, where like she can go back to like ancient China and she’s somewhere, doing something, and the next minute she’s … I don’t know. That would be really fun.”
In embodying the Everywoman, Macomber does not want to neglect marginalized experiences—Macomber and Ford are also interested in helping those with disabilities who may feel “trapped in their experience” to connect with the music as well. Macomber notes that Dominae included Braille on the back “because I thought, who loves music more than someone who cannot see?” Their next endeavor following the release of The Planet by Driftless on January 27 will be a music video in which Macomber uses sign language, “for people who can’t hear music, but who want to communicate, or hear the communication somehow, or feel the communication.” She would love to learn the language fully, since she believes sign language is something musicians should do more of: “I know we’re communicating on this plane in music, but you know, [signing] seems to make sense.”
While she of course shares qualities with other women, Macomber’s personality—while clothed, off-duty from the Everywoman persona—is undeniably her own. It’s easy to see that Ejecta-like quality of continual rebirth in Macomber; she’s inventive and expressive, she and Ford make no room for stagnation in their sound. But at the end of the day, she’s got a keen sense of style. After dinner we head to a food market in the Market, where she proceeds to arrange a bouquet of herbs. Dill is her favorite, she says, though she thinks it’s absurd that anyone should say that wine has “notes of dill”—they’re just making that up. “It’s just wine,” she says, and laughs.
