I made a phone call to Eric this past Christmas Eve to talk about Song 2. We got into how the song was written, the refreshing honesty of it’s lyrics, some of Eric’s influences (from the Beach Boys to That Dog), and how his work as a recording engineer at Honeyland, in his current hometown of Brooklyn, NY factors into his personal writing and recording.

Andy is the father of two wonderful cats named Sushi and Nori. He is also the father of a song called So What (I Want Your Body (of Work)). Andy and I sat down recently to discuss this song, it’s long road into existence, his massive library of unreleased material for band/solo project Shakes, and some thoughts on the perfect album. It is a sporadic treat to hear a new Shakes recording (not to mention with commentary), so please enjoy!
