The Making Of A Record I often write music for days forgetting when I started. Writing songs for years loosing track of why I started them in the first place. How strange it is to have something so demanding of your attention. Getting here seems like a string of accidents. This album was recorded over months and years that felt like making music no one was going to hear. Yet it isn’t as serious as any or all of this really. Because it doesn’t have to be. Making music has always been a random collection of bizarre approaches, stumbling myself towards something that looks like an ending. Pianos, computers, notebooks, phones, hard drives, guitars, torment, voice memos, they all serve the same purpose of a “sure way” I’ll create something to feel. I made these tunes with my friends, Matthew Keller and Justin Camacho. The ones I’ve lived in questionable hotel rooms and tour vans with for years. I didn’t set out for that to happen to be honest. I moved around the country and found myself in their backyards when it was time to press record. A coincidence I love. When I pause to think about it, I think that’s what is odd about this music as a whole. We’ve made a string of songs before and placed them together, but for a far easier explanation, there’s always been a whole lot more shit unnecessarily involved. On this one that didn’t end up happening. It felt odd to be perfectly honest. It felt like I should be phoning in updates to someone and asking when our release day might be pushed. Nobody was asking me to call them. No deadlines were lost and everything was at my fingertips in my studio. There’s no right or wrong way of doing any of this, thats the absurd and high of it. This is just how it happened to me this time. Taking a piece of my life for a few years that I’m glad I got the chance to give. There’s a lot more you can expect in the coming weeks and I’m excited as hell to share with you! Thank you, as always, for everything you guys have allowed LYDIA to do over the years, it’s never lost. I hope you en
