Heres the deal. In 2012, people loved Silver Age (to a degree that surprised me, pleasantly), likewise Beauty & Ruin in 2014 (despite the heaviness of the subject matter, which I thought might be a bit alienating apparently not. Another pleasant surprise.). But PATCH THE SKY is the darkest one. After the Letterman performance in February 2015 where dust fell from the rafters, it would have seemed logical to go the punk rock routean entire album of two-minute songsbut that wasnt where my soul was at. I withdrew from everyday life. I wrote alone for six months. I love people, but I needed my solitude. The search for my own truth kept me alive. These songs are my salvation. Ive had a solid stretch of hard emotional times, and thanks for the condolences in advance. I dont want to go into the detailsmore death, relationships ending, life getting shorterbecause theyre already in the songs. Just listen and see if you can fit yourself into my stories. The words make you remember. The music makes you forget. But PATCH THE SKY is also the catchiest one.
