hi, all.

it’s been a while. (yes, i did mean to put nickelback in all of your heads.) songs, albums, videos, shows, press. putting out a record is like having a bridezilla-style* wedding every 2-3 years. lots of “did you get the save the date? it was an email cause, you know, the planet…” and fussing over flower arrangements, except you’re walking down the aisle to your own music by yourself, to your "self." your bridesmaids and groomsmen are your label, agents, managers, day managers, personal assistants standing expectant with a mixture of stress, excitement, pride. the fans are the attendees, who will pick sides (this side prefers the old you walking down the aisle, this side is onboard for the new you waiting at the altar, there is definitely one person who will protest the marriage in a drunken, dramatic way…) a lot of pomp. plenty of circumstance.


but sometimes what gets lost in all the mothers-in-law, speeches, and seating arrangements (has this metaphor stretched so thin that it belies the fact that i have neither attended many weddings, nor aspired to my own?) is this simple fact: it’s about love^. at its best and at its core, its about love. that’s it. that’s all. that is literally the only point. (and i mean "literally" to mean literally.) this record is from my heart to yours. i hope it finds its way there.

love,

ac


*yo, i know it’s sexist AF.
^for the sake of the emotional momentum of this note, we are choosing to ignore that centuries of marriage were not, in fact, about love but about wealth consolidation/women as chattel%
