I'm planning on making an acoustic album between Thanksgiving & Christmas. Looking back, I feel like there's more than a handful of fragile, beautiful songs that I can't wait for you to hear stripped down. Most of the time when I write it starts on a piano or acoustic guitar and then finds it way to a full recording with drums and guitars and the whole thing, but along the way I feel like I've collected some songs that just have a magic to them when they're broken down. I'm hoping to make this recording process something that you guys can see as it's taking shape toward the end of this year... |
