“I did the first Broods record and because of that connection I ended up meeting Taylor at one of their shows in LA. Years later, she was on tour in New Zealand, we re-connected and weeks later I ended up flying to New York to work with her. She was obviously a Lorde and a Broods fan which meant, luckily for me, she liked my work. And then weirdly once we started writing together, it just kind of clicked immediately. The way that she writes and the way that I work just somehow makes for a great combination. She’s a phenomenal writer and she always has ideas already when she comes in the room. So she’ll come in and play me something on guitar and pretty much every time without fail, it’s amazing. Other times she’ll send me a voice memo with an idea. For me, that’s great, because I can sit down and start building a track based on what she’s sent me, and by the time she gets here we can pretty easily finish something up. She always has such amazing ideas, she’s a dream to work with.”
