Being optimistic is hard work.
There’s a kind of dogged determination required to keep making things better, even in the face of a world determined to find new and exciting ways to sap that optimism.
A lot of the upcoming album was written during times of deep grief, moving forward while feeling ridiculous. How can one do the laundry when there are funerals to attend? How can one worry about getting some electronic gadget to work when there’s some new constitutional crisis going on?
It Might Be Fine (But I Just Don’t Know) and I’m Sorry About Your Everything are song titles from the new album NOTHING IS EASY, which will be released in late spring or summer. HOPE IS PUNK is more of a mantra I’ve been using to just … keep it together, and I hope it inspires you, along with the music.
