I had been in a creative rut from a year of pushing <em>Cat Heaven<\/em> with very little time to make new music. My friend Edgar started coming over after I moved into a new apartment just to kick new ideas around..those were the first few songs I had made all year that felt right. Soon after on a short tour stop in NY I ended up doing a session with these guys Al &amp; Alex and made a song so special I immediately knew I had to make the album with them. So I got on a plane with Edgar on New Year&#8217;s Day 2019 and all four of us spent two weeks working on brand new material. Every song was made in a day and it was undeniably the best music I had made. Some of those songs ended up on <em>Graffiti<\/em>, others on the album.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It\u2019s been amazing seeing how excited everyone is about this, even after all this time. Thank you for always caring and listening to me &#8211; it means the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; \u201cLooking back on it 5 years from now..\u201d &nbsp; Looking back I\u2019m proud of the concept in this and what I was able to get across at the time. &nbsp; I was digging through a lot of music near the end of 2018 to find a new direction..
