Wait Til I Get Over comes out Friday, May 5, 2023 on Dead Oceans. A homage to the rural south, it is also a ‘letter to my 17 year old self.’ I almost called it that. I wanted to make a record that, that nerdy 17 year old dude would love. At the time I was 17 I was into classical music, jazz, rock and roll, R&B, hip hop and gospel. So included all of these things in this record— through my mind and voice. It is a declaration and a reminder: you don’t have to stick to the dreams people have for you. You can dream bigger. You are more than capable, you are more than able. I think about some nerdy punk kid in the rural south who needs to hear that now….
