Here’s an interview I did entirely with drawings on a whiteboard. Such a clever series they’re doing!

I also recently had the chance to chat with Scott Cowie for his Talk Music podcast about my song-a-day project, my time working with Rick Rubin, and some songwriters I admire.

Hobbiton? Narnia? No, my friend’s backyard in Bath. Not missing LA so much at present.

Talkhouse Music asked me to review an upcoming album release that I was excited about, and I jumped at the chance to talk about Sufjan Steven‘s newest record, Carrie & Lowell. I have a long history of admiration of Sufjan’s music and this new material is a deeply moving collection of lyrically unrestrained songwriting and understated grooves.

I’ve been feeling some extra holiday spirit this season… so much so, that I wrote two new Christmas songs. Here’s a video I illustrated for the first one – “The Hottest Christmas Eve Ever” Hope you enjoy it!

Some of the work that I’m the most happy about from the last year are the three illustrated lyric videos that I made for songs from my latest solo album, Love Without Fear. I know a lot of you have seen the videos for “Disappearing” and “A Song Can Be About Anything” already, and now I’ve released a new one for my song “Love Without Fear.” I love seeing them side by side. Creating these pieces was a completely new kind of challenge for me, surprisingly complex and difficult but very fun.
