What do those location(s) mean to you?: It’s where I wrote probably 80% of our new record coming out. I rearranged my computer and instruments around 10 times while writing just switching up the vibes and workspace. This place is big, which was perfect for just sprawling out and moving around. I used to write music in a tiny space that I couldn’t rearrange. It drove me nuts.
