“Last fall, I realized that my friends and I are going through many changes. After the summer heat, everything calmed down, calmed down, collapsed, fell sharply or exploded. When I went through hard times early last year, writing songs helped me understand my feelings and accept what was going on, and after learning about the different situations of my friends, I wrote songs, some from their point of view, some from my own, to convey the way we saw the world with them. This time. There were bright moments of falling in love and new friendships, along with bad situations, depression, loneliness and confusion. My father and brother told me about a composer named Edward Elgar who composed “Mysterious Variations” in which each of the 14 songs was about one of his friends. That is what inspired me to create this album. When I recorded “Subtract” with Aaron Dessner, we started right away. We wrote and recorded songs non-stop, and from that collaboration, this album was born. I feel like he captured the feeling of autumn perfectly in his sounds, and I hope everyone loves him as much as I do.”
