Hey friends! We have been writing and recording so much for our next record and are feeling great about how it's going. As tempting as it is to want to share it all right now, we're going to keep at it and will share when it's finally ready. We'll be working out new songs during upcoming shows, so you'll have a little preview in the meantime. Thanks for all the love and support! xoxo

Five years ago today, my first record came out on Captured Tracks (along with Wild Nothing's Gemini). Before this album came together, I was completely broke, aimless and wandering NYC alone with no idea how I was going to get my life together. This experience quite literally saved my life. Over the years, I’ve made the most wonderful friends and have sculpted my life into exactly what I’ve wanted it to be. I’ve done it without having to make any compromises or having to answer to anybody. I’ve been able to maintain complete creative control over my music, my artwork, my decisions, all while being 100% self-managed. It’s been a ton of work that sometimes bites back hard, but it’s an ultimate freedom that nobody could ever take away from me. When I look back, it feels like it hasn’t been that long, but then I remember all of the places in the world I’ve performed, all of the friends I’ve made along the way, and how I've finally reached my lifelong dream of starting my own record label (with my best friend aka my wife no less). It’s totally unreal, every morning I wake up feeling very grateful. Thanks to everybody for believing in me, I love all of you, you really keep me going. And thanks Mike for picking me up, dusting me off and setting me on track, you’re my guardian angel.
