There’s something quite special about this soundscape that just hits you and offers us all a fine serving of an invigorating unknown. So listen closely and fall prey to the exquisite magic of this contemporary must-listen gem. Enjoy!
“I wrote “Progress” shortly after a difficult few months of a toxic job and living situation. One day I went for a walk and realized for the first time in weeks I didn’t feel completely low. Kind of like when you have a really bad headache and then suddenly you realize the headache is over and maybe you’ll be fine. The song came to me really quickly. I thought maybe it was too simplistic or childish sounding, but when I sat down to demo it – I realized I’d already said absolutely everything I need to say at that time.”
