"Songwriting for me had always only been interesting and necessary because I saw it as this vehicle for truth, but i had this realisation that all I had realy done with it was lick my wounds for years and years, and become more and more isolated from people and experiences. I don't even like wound-licking music. Ï want to listen to someone rip their arm off and beat themselves with it. I don't believe that until now i've ever put anything at risk in my music. I was hell-bent on putting my preciousness at stake in order to find something worth singing about. "
He continues "I lost all interest in writing music, or identifying as a 'songwriter'. I got into my van with enough mushrooms to choke a horse and started driving down the coast with nowhere to go. After a few weeks, i was writing a novel, which is where i finally found my narrative voice. The voice that is actually usefull."
"Fear Fun" will be released May 1st through Sub Pop Records.
