BIOGRAPHY

I was born in South Texas & raised in one of the smallest towns around. I write songs by christmas lights & oil lamps in the spare room of my house, just behind the local high school. I write about heartbreak, moonlight, alcohol, paranoia, cadillacs, flowers, hope, dancehalls, unassuming women, rain storms, God above, & antique furniture... and I do it with as much gallop or yawn as I can muster...

Sessions: David Bazan

It was pretty slow. I mean, I played [the songs] on acoustic guitar for a long time, but I didn’t know how to transfer them to the other format. I didn’t want it to be a solo acoustic record. I wanted there to be bells and whistles and full band arrangements even if I didn’t want it necessarily to be electric guitar rock....

Sessions: Vetiver

“It’s always slightly confounding to me whenever Vetiver is depicted with the same tropes that people have read off of press sheets,” says Andy Cabic. “The same sort of milestones get mentioned but then no one really digs to find out that there are those other things going on.”

On Track: Josh Turner

“It’s pretty secluded and private out here,” he says of the homestead he shares with wife, Jennifer, and their two boys, Hampton, three years old, and Colby, just seven months.
