We recorded this session with Esther one balmy summer day, upstairs of Gems HQ in the sweaty attic. Guitars went wonky, songs got sung and inspiration hit. It took awhile for me to come back around to releasing this, but all the while something kept calling me back to it. \"Always Changing\" would periodically run through my minds jukebox, the catchy hook running free, uncontrollable as the changes we all experience. When I showed the song to Esther, she was amazed at how much progress had been made in the past 2 years since it was shot. Bashful as always, but this is such a natural banger than we had to bring it back to life.
Y'all might recognize this attic room from some other videos.. we filmed Max Gomez, \"Tall Buildings\" in it (https://youtu.be/vEzaVUwEBiU) and a bunch of others there. It recently got built out into office space and we can't shoot there anymore, so RIP. Anyone who can name all the videos we've shot in that location in the comments will get a signed polaroid of Esther Rose.
Big thanks to VJ Arizpe, Derek Brown and Richard for their continued support in making this possible.
