This morning,
@artofthefite and I welcomed our first full length record into the world. Four and a half years ago, I wasn’t sure I’d ever sling a guitar around my neck and step on a stage again. And this morning, I’m drinking coffee in Chicago after kicking off an American tour with my best friend in the world, sending Hard Feelings, Soft Promises out into the internet ether.

We are so thankful to have the love we put into these songs reflected back at us on stage every night. Ironically, we’re dropping the day after World Mental Health Day. Art always says our songs are like a little reminder to schedule your next therapy appointment. We’re very grateful to have this outlet for our own mental health.

We’re also very lucky to get to do what we do with the greatest folks in the world. It takes a village!

Enormous thanks to
@future.dad.music the very first person who saw the PF potential and encouraged us to make it a thing. He guided and supported the heart and sound of this record as I found my producer voice over the last year.

No one plays drums like
@beardyholly and we appreciate him immensely for sharing his skills on the kit with us.

@blue.acres.music came in clutch when we needed to find the soul of Camera Roll and helped me find the gorgeous guitar sounds that form the centrepiece of that tune.

@parachutemastering is the final dazzle on top of the
@pillow.fite cake. Thank you so much for your expertise and patience, making the final product exactly how we need it.

@quietcanary.hfx @studio2o4 and
@redheadhooks came together in a big way to make us look sooooo super cool in the graphics.

@lhmrecords has always got our back and lets us focus on the making while he steers us so deftly thru the perilous catacombs of our very weird industry.

I’m just happy to be a boy who gets to play his guitar with and for other folks. Thank you for listening. Xoxo
