Frontman The Maine schrijft over creativiteit

John O’Callaghan, de frontman van The Maine, heeft in een blog geschreven over creativiteit. De zanger schreef dit naar aanleiding van hun recente avontuur in de studio. De band uit Tempee, Arizona neemt sinds Pioneer & The Good Love alles namelijk analoog op, zo ook hun nieuwe studioalbum Forever Halloween. Lees de blog hieronder.

If I have learned anything at all from our most recent jaunt to the studio it is this…

Creativity deserves a healthy, non-constricted habitat in which true emotion can bloom and thrive freely. I know as a band we’ve talked quite a bit about the analog recording process we went through and the work involved, so I will spare you the methodology of it all. That being said, the satisfaction we experienced stumbling upon a new way of creating music was indescribable. This accidental newfound confidence brought about a sudden revitalization to our spirits and our entire being and without your support we would have never been allowed to realize these feelings. There is certainly no one way to go about paving your road, but by making yourself vulnerable and susceptible to new experiences you can truly fall into an environment that promotes the healthiest vibes.

The past six years and ten months has taught me to trust in my instincts. Dictating decisions alone may seem like an arduous task but knowing that whatever the outcome, favorable or non, was caused by you alone will allow you to stand with confidence.

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to continue to grow.

It’s been our pleasure.

Forever Halloween is yours.

-John
