Their universe of grainy synths, cassette-drenched drums, and warbling guitars, complem...

I just released an LP, and I’m on to my next one. In this solo pod, I reflect on my conversation with Phil and the nature of growth. As Phil said, the closer to the source of the audio, the better.

You know how much I love pace. While speed is super important, there are times to downshift and take it slow. Finding the balance between speed and accuracy is key for athletes and creatives alike.
