When Andy, Robert & I got together at their studio in April of 2017, it was ostensibly with the goal of writing & recording - or at least starting - one new Bad Books song. 

As often happens when we get in a room, things escalated.

Andy & I each recorded live takes - solo performances, vocal & guitar - of 6 songs a piece we’d been working on. We workshopped some lyric & structure adjustments, sang some harmonies, and called it a weekend, generally agreeing to return to the material & see what we thought “next time,” whenever that may be, with the only rule being no listening to what was there between sessions.
It turned out “next time” would be February 2018. There was clear excitement and palpable nerves when we opened up the files to listen back, and then real relief and proper giddiness when we liked & believed in what we heard as much as we did.

It was from that foundation over a few more scattered sessions III was properly built. 

I often believe songs tell you the clothes they want to wear. With this group, which felt like they were already having some kind of intuitive conversation on which we were almost eavesdropping, it became immediately apparent those outfits should be spare, subtle, expansive, intimate, a little sparkly, and slightly lunar. 

Bad Books has always been built on songs, and on communicating. I think the songs on III communicate the most directly we ever have, and to a very real extent I’m including our other projects in that assessment as well. I’m beyond proud of the work we’ve done here & cannot wait for you to hear more, and to present it to you as a trio every night on the upcoming tour, and to run our prior songs - many of which really live there already - through that filter, as well. 

Thank you for riding along. See you out there
