Short interview excerpt in which Patrick Leonard describes the intense, iterative process behind his double album: he wrote over 30 songs to select 16 for an 84-minute double album, used repeated lyric rewrites and re-purposed lyrics across songs, and framed the creative struggle as necessary ("if it's not a near death experience, it's probably not very good").

These things are never easy. If it's not a near death experience, it's probably not very good. So there you go. And that's really where it came from. It was a lot of writing. I think I wrote over 30 songs for the 16 that are on there. It's a double album. It's a very long piece of work. It's 84 minutes of music. And throughout more than I used lyric rewrites and lyric rewrites, and then take a lyric that's good and write a different song to it and just the process until it felt finished.
