Her style typically involves creating layered soundscapes on the guitar, making extensive use of effects pedals and e-bows. Her music has been described as "icy drones and beautifully spare sounds" by the Allmusic reviewer. [1]

In 2019, she collaborated with Iggy Pop on his album Free.[2]

Biography

Lipstate was born in 1984 in Birmingham.[3] At age 2, she moved with her family to Lafayette, Louisiana.[4]

As a child, she played piano for nearly a decade and played trombone in her high school marching band.[5]

She began playing the guitar at 17 after buying the cheapest electric guitar she could afford.[6]

She attended the University of Texas and studied in the school's radio-television-film program. Many in her family are UT alums.[7]

In 2007, Lipstate moved to Brooklyn. A few months later, a mutual friend from Austin introduced her to the members of Parts & Labor who were looking for a guitarist.[8]
