🤘🏾🤘🏾

I’d like to keep it a buck. I put an album out eight months ago and I was sure it was going to be a big earth shattering thing. When that didn’t happen I thought well, ok. Why did you feel that way? Maybe it’s because of how hard I worked on it, or the people I had be part of it, or pictures painted for me by people who I figured knew a lot more than I do. I also liked it. When it didn’t do what I expected I thought well —?? Do I suck at this? I had to sort of re-meet myself. Ask myself why I made things at all anyways. I remember when I was in high school, the first time I ever saw my dad cry was at one of my shows. Bricktown ballroom battle of the bands. I remember when I was working at BerlinRosen, I did everything I possibly could to leave my job at 5:50 and run my ass to band practice. sweatshop. I remembered being at my grandparents house when they were alive and playing boomer in the living room before that was ever a song. Watching my granddad’s bootleg horror movies. Halloween 1,2,3,…I think somewhere in this journey I forgot that I just like doing this, always will. I’m a bit of a space case but, with songs and music Im obsessed. So for this, Shy Bairns Get Nowt, my new ep. These are simply songs I love. Songs that put me back inside my body. Made with my self, some repeating freaks, and some new friends. My heart goes to these weird people. The song Ain’t Nobody Gettin’ me High, I wrote in a Beggars writing camp with @hovvdy , Tam from @theweatherstation and @tommytown . It was really cool. The other songs - sort of all over. I did Like this with my friend @instagraham78 . BTNY (back to ny) was a gift from @gabriel.zucker - with contributions on strings from @darian.donovan.thomas and @tkjohnson_ on drums. Fitty Lite came from nowhere. Pigs Fly was made in LA avec the Rothman Recorders (@yvesrothman @lawrencerothman ). And this version of Baltimore is the “right” version as @jackantonoff would say, I agree now. Here’s to another day, A bit more chilled out. Shy Bairns Get Nowt via @4ad . PS I leave for tour next week, come and see me

In honor of a new @bleachersmusic album - here’s some production I did on the last one. Good luck to the boys on their new musical endeavor. This is I Am Right On Time - one of my favorite songs by @jackantonoff ever.

Layering the verse on sober. Sometimes layering can be boring bc you might be trying to just thicken or thin something out. Think about adding dimension, spirit, levity, breath, focus instead of BIGGER. #musicproduction #songwriter

Speed run of an empty chorus on Sober. It’s nice when the bottom falls out. #songwriting #musicproduction #blackalt
