“Like your most treasured songwriters (who might include Conor Oberst, Neil Young…) the outcome is a delicate deviation suffused with obvious warmth” – The Irish Times
“hurry up & wait was written only a few months before I recorded ‘thank god it’s friday’. I had attended an online songwriting workshop hosted by Adrianne Lenker of big thief, and for one of the classes I was tasked to write a song in reaction to the photo “Skyscape” by Genesis Baez.
the image depicts someone washing a piece of cloth in water, with the light reflecting off the ripples. it felt calm, and at peace with the present moment. the song conversely addresses the feeling of perpetual movement as a means to escape the vulnerability of stillness.
the photo presented a feeling I wanted to grasp, the song documents the struggle to grasp it“
