Sob Rock

This is the record where I had 10 songs locked. My record before suffered because the door was open to it the whole time—new songs would come in, old songs would go out. And so it became ‘This is my script, this is my movie.‘ We’re not going to write a different scene from a different movie.

This is the whole Sob Rock game—get sweet, but never sappy. It’s demonstratively sweet and luscious, and melodic and colourful, but it’s never to the point where it gets cloying and syrupy. I like to teeter on that line.
