Oh. My. God. That Bryar song Fran played just made me burst into tears! I got divorced in 2021, but those lyrics just brought everything to a head and I feel sad, but at peace at the same time. It slipped through our hands…

I really think y’all would really enjoy this group called Bathe—so relaxing. I recommend First Base, Kimmi, Avalon and Variations.

Yes. community rooted in justice and liberation for all us crucial at this time.

Also I loved this episode of Dustin's Bible study. I don't know if you've done this narrative or maybe I missed it. But I would love if yall recounted the Witch of Endor story. It's truly a fascinating one to me.

Producing makes me feel like myself more than anything in the world. I hope you hear the joy, playfulness, freedom, and love I have for this art form in the music.

When I first started producing I lived in a house with an orange door and would tell people who came over to "knock on the orange door." When I moved, I named my new home studio Orange Door Studios. I want this album to be an invitation into who I am as a producer in this moment.
