Jeff and I met up to discuss a song he wrote called Stagnant Rift. I’d first heard this song peformed live by Jeff’s band Close Friends, and later on their album Everyone Is The Same Person. This demo version is quite different from the way I was used to hearing the song. We discuss the differences and similarities, how Jeff wrote this song in a songwriting flurry with a magic guitar, and we also touch upon a correlation between Jeff’s work as visual artist and musician.
