Back in 2022, while I was working on my first EP, this quote stuck with me:

“This is not the end. It’s not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

It made sense then, but hits differently now.

I used to wonder what my songs would sound like fully produced. When that finally happened, something cracked open in me - momentum I’d been waiting years to feel. I chased it, and eventually that run led me to New England.

What I didn’t realize until recently is that this album was the last push before everything went quiet. Moving overseas, working alone, navigating change… it all adds up. And when the dust settled after the album was done, my creative world stopped for the first time in years - and that’s when the real reflection happened.

This project closes out a three year stretch of pushing myself further than I ever expected to. Every song has taught me something about who I am and what I’m capable of. And now that this chapter’s finished - now that the tank’s finally empty - I’m giving myself a moment to reset.

I’m still writing, still creating, just from a different place for now. After much growth and change, I want to sit with where I’ve landed and see what comes of it. I’ve spent a lot of creative energy pushing forward without stopping to take any of it in, and this is the first time I’ve slowed down and acknowledged everything it took to get here.

Anyways, New England is yours this Thursday. And whatever comes next, I’m proud of what this album became.

Here’s a link to the album if you’d like to hear it early, and another if you’d like to pre order the vinyl.

Thank you for being here - whether you’re family or someone I’ve never met who somehow found their way into this world.

Josef.
