Sometimes, a song can take weeks to write and record, and sometimes it just jumps out of you, and it’s complete within an hour. Next Time was one of the fast ones. It started with me noodling around with a bassline, and Cam started playing a beautiful guitar line on top of it. We added some drums, overdubbed more guitars and synths, and before we knew it, we had Next Time recorded. I don’t think we got up from Cam’s couch before the instrumental was done. As soon as we played back the rough mix, we knew we had something special. 

Lyrically, it’s about unexpected loss, especially of something that one views as a constant in their life. The sort of destabilizing feeling where you can’t really fathom what’s just happened, but you have to keep going in spite of it. And then, it suddenly hits you that your last interaction was really the last. That sensation of finality can be a lonely feeling, but I know that a lot of people have experience with it, and I just wanted to try to give words to it.

Running

Between September 2015 and January 2016, I started recording a lot of instrumentals as little demos, mostly on a Tascam DP-006 in my dorm room. So, in January 2016, vocals were recorded and plans were made to release a second album or EP, made up of about 9 tracks. However, due to time constraints, by the end of the sessions, there were 5 tracks complete that I was totally satisfied with. So, a decision was made to release these 5 tracks as an EP. While recording these tracks, I was listening heavily to Joy Division, Mac Demarco, Tom Waits, Elliott Smith, Bruce Springsteen, and Mitski. You might not be able to tell, but I can. So, enjoy! Eventually, the rest of the tracks will probably surface somewhere.
