In an interview with Billboard, she described how the new position led her to “a crossroads” and a “identity crisis.”
Hoffs released a solo album this week titled “The Lost Record,” which is a compilation of recordings she recorded with different musicians in 1999 in her Los Angeles home’s garage.
I’ve spent my entire life recording in garages since the Bangles were founded in the garage of my childhood home,” she remarked.
According to Hoffs, she informed Dan Schwartz, one of the musicians, that she wanted to record in her garage because she had a new baby.
She claimed that as a result, the album depicts her going through an identity crisis. I was a mother, married to a filmmaker, and living the so-called adult life when I found myself at a crossroads, wondering how I could “do it all” and juggling all of this.
Roach was also gaining popularity at this time; he directed the 1996 hit comedy “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery” and its 1999 follow-up, “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.” Their relationship, according to Hoffs, is “like ships crossing in the night.”
