"The phrase I Heard It's a Mess There Too' started as a lyric, but it got its hooks in me soon after. It felt familiar, like something I'd said a thousand times while checking in with friends across different cities. The more I sat with it, the more it started to feel like the center of this project... It's about observation and communication. Sonically, I wanted a resetcleaner beats, more space, fewer layers. Just enough to get a wave rolling and not much more."
