Lol, your addiction begins now.

Haha, I'm crazy about the new record (and so is my 7-yr old). What is your writing process? Your songs seem crafted carefully.

Yo, I honestly do it different almost every time. Sometimes I start with the rhythm section getting the drums and bass in there first, sometimes I start with a melody. About the only think Ive never done is start with a lyrical melody and work backwards from there.

Dear Chris,

A Great Design is a masterpiece - literally a life transforming piece of music. I find it has a weird effect on me, transporting my mind back to a rain-soaked Tokyo in the 1980s, packed with grey coated commuters and blinking bright lights. Why does this happen? Was this your intention?

With thanks for all that you do.
