Andrew McMahon vertelt over nieuw album

Andrew McMahon heeft al zo’n zes nummers geschreven voor zijn nieuwe soloalbum. Dit liet hij weten in een recent interview, waarvan je hieronder een fragment kunt lezen.

What have you been working on? What have you been coming up with?
It’s early. I’ve got about five or six songs that are about to take shape. And I sort of play this game—kind of like leap frog—where I go up and I’ll work on a new song and I’ll start going back, and revising and working on the old songs. And this is the first time that I’ve done that in a while, where I’m really just writing a batch of songs for a week at a time. It’s probably too early to say what it is going to be. I’m definitely taking the opportunity to acquaint myself with the piano in a big way. I think my last couple of records got away from that and it was really kind of this moment where I was like, “Okay, you’re a piano-player. That is your heart and soul.” No pun intended. That’s the best of my work—with me at the piano. I’ve really just been focusing on developing the parts of the piano and really, I’m just digging in and not being afraid if it doesn’t come quickly. You know, not having any fear about revising, and rewriting and developing it causelessly and endlessly until it is finished. That is kind of the moment that I am in right now. I’m going to keep doing it until the end of the year.
