With every new project comes something new, right?
Every other record I've ever worked on – every single one – I've had another one happening in my mind, like I was working on two at once. I would be on tour, and I would be sandwiching in recording sessions between tour schedules. This is a Photograph is really the only record where I lived inside of it. It was just this record and nothing else. It was the only thing that I was focused on. That felt nice.
Do you come to Sam [Cohen] with demos? Where does the collaboration start?
