Signed into my email this morning to see all these Bandcamp messages since it’s “Bandcamp Friday,” the monthly day they don’t take any %.
Keep sliding into this rollercoaster brain pattern. Maybe I should send something too, having released my new record a couple of weeks ago now? Naw I don’t need to… Why the fuck not? …back and forth and back and forth ♻️ (very anti-previous2mind LOL!)
There’s this space I live in between “It doesn’t matter just make your art and that’s the point” ~VS~ “I should be sharing more often if I want this art to add to the narrative in some way.” Both are true. Less true than taking it to the people at live shows, but still true. So trying to sit with that and realize it’s totally OK to want to share a bit, totally OK not to, and luckily for me also totally OK to feel weird about the whole thing!
Sharing this art is such a trip. We put our hearts in it in a way that IG just can’t really do justice. Never will. So it’s just an odd experience. Not one I would ever trade and I for sure feel grateful as hell that I get to hang out in the backyard studio making tunes. It’s not hard. Roofing in the summer in Tucson is hard. It’s just a trip.
Maybe it’s taking a sec to remember there’s more to why we make stuff than likes or listens. Makes me think of this sticker.
I think that’s the whole email. Thanks for reading, and thanks to those of you listening to the new record. Sending all my hype and love.
