“I’ve been really fortunate to meet some really amazing people and enjoy their creative company for a finite amount of time, but I’ve learned over the years that, especially if you’re collaborating with other songwriters, you can’t really keep people. You have to be open and free and let people find their own way creatively. These magical moments happen, you know, like with the Watson Twins, but then they had to go on and make their own record. Then there’s this period of adjustment afterward, where you’re like, ‘I’m never going to do anything as cool as that again,’ and it’s so scary to feel like this raw dog alone in the world. But then you find your people and you do it all over again.”
“I let the inspiration guide me. I let the songs guide me. If you had told me a year ago that I’d have a record out with a new band right now I probably wouldn’t have believed you. It’s not something I planned, and I’m so grateful that the songs came through the shop, but I have no plans for the future. I’m a total runaway: I’m living in New York in my friend’s apartment. I don’t know where I’m going to be next week let alone six months from now. It’s really reinvigorated my love for indie rock and the fans of that kind of music.”
