the album really is a beautiful, thoughtful, cohesive piece of work about the journeyyyy, and to reduce or summarize bits and pieces would be especially at odds with this album. i feel like Good Story is a lot about process, being wrong about stuff over and over again but we moveee. just another lap. make amends with myself all the time. forgetting again forever like that. the point IS the whole thing, the full journey of how we got here and the continued process of life/learning

Thank you for so eloquently reminding me that we always have a choice in how we create and promote our art. In how we move through the world. As a musician who’s been encouraged lately to make engaging vertical content of myself every day and to overshare parts of my life in mediums that I am sometimes uncomfortable sharing in, I really needed that reminder of agency.

Your album is beautiful. Getting Free and Mausoleum and Water Inside the Fence are my favorites. Well done :)

I respect you so much as a creative because you have the integrity to know that the audience you want to connect with won't connect with you thru the ways most artists are pressured to promote their work. The systems crumbles and we stop feeling it's pressure when we as audience and creator refuse to give in to it. Love the album so much, amd I love that I will want to keep coming back to it for months if not years.
