The songs for "Lynn Teeter Flower", an album named after a family friend in Maria’s native Birmingham, Alabama, were written in between tours for "11:11". The collection reveals a woman settling very well into her role as a solo artist, peeling back some of the layers of the last album to reveal a more organic sound, one that resembled the hundreds of shows she had done all over the globe in support of "11:11" over the course of the last year. She began her new recording sessions with Spoon’s drummer Jim Eno in Austin, hopped over to Athens to record four more tracks with Now It’s Overhead’s Andy LeMaster (who worked on "11:11"), and then ended up in Memphis to work with Doug Easley (Cat Power, Pavement). The record sees contributions from Maria’s brother and sister – bassist Macey Taylor and keyboardist Kate Taylor, both of whom played in her live band, as well as Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst, who co-wrote and sings on “The Ballad of Sean Foley.”
