Chapters
So let's dive into the creative process. So, Nate, you're in a band that is a pretty intense creative group. Can you tell us a little bit about the process of working together as a band to not only create a song, produce a song? What does everyone bring to the table and how the decisions get made in that. In that process?
Well, I think it takes a lot of knowing what kind of what people do best. You know, the songs generally start in my head, and, you know, I'll conceptualize them, conceptualize kind of the album, where it's going to go, and then we'll all get together and kind of dissect it a little bit and make an album from that. And I think it works so well and fun because. Because we know each other, but we're also such close friends that I've been in writing sessions with people that I can't stand, and it doesn't help. And I think to be around people that you trust that you know kind of what their strengths are, and you kind of. There was a time early on in the band when we would. Just. The two of us would leave the room when the one person was kind of doing the thing that they specialize in. And it was just at the beginning of the band because it was so exciting for us to come back into the room and hear what they had done. Because while the songs generally start with me, it's cool to see kind of the arc they take thereafter.
