I Think I’m Here
Nancy Whang is a creative musical force, known best for her integral role in some of the world's favorite bands, such as LCD Soundsystem and The Juan Maclean. She is an extraordinarily accomplished and talented individual who, despite her musical energy, remains incredibly low-key, shying away from the spotlight in favor of a more zen-like approach to life. 'I Think I'm Here' captures this beautiful balance of artistic brilliance and genuine authenticity.
