Um, there are a couple of songs on there that are kind of fringe songs but the meat of the record, we chose a direction when we started. When you started to approach this record, did you have some sort of conceptual flow in mind, or did that come later? It was a genuine pleasure and the first thing that I wanted to ask you was that, for me, one of the most important things that I look for in any artist is that desire to make an album that’s dynamic- that ebbs and flows over its run time, and that’s very much the case here. I’m happy to hear that, thank you so much. I’ve been hooked on the album and really surprised at the evolution of the band since I saw you with Alice in Chains a few years ago. With stunning production, courtesy of Aaron Shapiro, it’s an album that seems to draw the listener into another world (a particularly desirably quality at this point in time) and was glad to have the opportunity to sit down with Jeff, via Zoom, to discuss the development of a record that has been glued to my stereo for over a month now. A coherent, cinematic album that draws on a wide range of genres, it’s undeniably the work of a rock band but, at the same time, it steadfastly refuses to be pigeonholed. Not that I’d start an interview with Jeff Angell, founder of The Walking Papers with such gushing sentiments (I saved those for the reviews, here), but there it is.
