Being Both is a collaborative (experimental by process) project between Brooklyn, NY writer/ photographer Shannon LaRue and Troy, NY multi-instrumentalist Christopher Simple (Brown). 

‘Her Words, My Mouth’ (released November 27, 2020) arranges previously written works of LaRue’s poetry and writings to Brown’s (separately & unrelated) previously improvised and recorded loops and noodles, and then crafted by Brown into songs with some overdubbed guitars, keys, and/ or percussion.
Sang by Brown, but LaRue does spoken word on a few tracks.
