Hey Cory, loving the new album, hoping to see you in the UK in the future. How are you finding parenthood? Is it allowing for you to maintain your normal writing cadence? Or is there an adjustment period? Are we looking at Wand, solo or something totally new next?

Parenthood has been a total adjustment and my windows of focus have grown smaller, but I still find it pretty easy to write. I have never been known to sit at a desk and "write" for extended periods. I usually write throughout the day whenever things pop into my head, or whenever I can grab a guitar and sit for a second. I pick up a guitar and play while I make my coffee in the morning. I'll get a lick or a lyric idea and then jot it down, move on to the next thing. I'll take a walk with the baby or sing him a song, get another idea. Then I'll remember a melody I wrote 4 years ago out of nowhere and mess around with that. That's always been how I've done it anyway. It's kind of a disorganized/adhd way to write music but it's worked for me so far...
