These songs have been written during or are written about the time before my marriage. They encapsulate who I was and the feelings I had to work through; identity, friendship, faith, longing. I am very proud of them and ready to let them go into the world knowing that I saw them through to the best versions I could create. Which wouldn’t’ve been possible without everyone who directly worked on the album and encouraged its creation. To each of you, I’m unendingly grateful.
I hope that this record can transcend from straightforward power pop/rock tracks into lush, dreamlike moments. I grew up without any real music in my life until I bought an MP3 player (512mb!) and downloaded everything I read about on the internet. I hope someone will read about this.
