I had a very smart friend in middle school, incredibly smart. He participated in all of the after school programs, won various chess competitions, and was good at all of the things I wasn’t good at. He was also incredibly witty, would notice the kind of things about people they didn’t want him to notice and then just tear them apart. One time we we...
In 2018, I toured for five months straight, bopping back and forth between bands and working harder than I’d ever worked in my life. It left me pretty frazzled, and at the end of the long journey Chanele came and met me in LA where my sojourn ended. We walked up to the observatory, saw some coyotes, and I deliriously told her about all the things I...
There’s a song by The Fall where Mark E.

(I got a lot more out of this book called What You Are Getting Wrong Abo...
This song is also about Ireland. There’s a beautiful mountain called Knocnarea where the original queen of Ireland is supposedly buried. It’s located in County Sligo, and driving through one day I couldn’t help but think of whether this beautiful place would get wiped out by climate catastrophe. That sent me down a long dark hallway of memories, al...
When my grandmother was in the hospital towards the end of her life, she hallucinated a full on Catholic Passion Play and dictated what was happening to my mom, who was sitting in the hospital with her. This story stuck with me for a long time and had to put it down somewhere. I wrote this song in 2018 and it sat in my voice memos until I got asked...
In early lockdown, I was stuck for a little while in Baltimore, and I tried to stave off boredom by writing a few songs every day. One day I sung this song into my phone and sent it to Chanele with a message saying I’d probably never want to release it. She responded telling me how much she liked it, and I told her that I would only think about put...
