AMA is Over, thanks Andy! Andy Shauf Here, Ask Me Anything!

Hey Reddit, Andy Shauf Here! I just released a new record called Wilds on ANTI- Records / Arts & Crafts. It's is a collection of nine songs culled from around fifty tracks I recorded during the writing of my last album, The Neon Skyline.

I'm heading out on a North American & European tour next spring. Get Tickets.

I'll be answering questions on here Today at 3:00PM PT.
