Whatever you do, please do not hug Olivia Mainville. The Holland, Michigan native and singer/multi-instrumentalist — who makes seductive French ye-ye-steeped Tarantino-esque tunes as Via Mardot, along with Vernon James and Adam Schreiber and the occasional use of a musical saw — keeps her distance, even if her music begs for closeness. "If I see a hug coming, then obviously I'll be like, OK, let's, let's get this over with," Mainville says. "But if there's somebody who looks like they're about to give hugs and I'm next, then I usually kind of like, fold my hands and back up a little bit. Or maybe I'll wander off on 'accident.' I think what really turned me off in the first place was like, you know, as a young female musician, men, lots of men, old and young, just want hugs. And I think that's what actually made me angry at hugs. I'm mad at hugs."
