“​​I never intended to write a tribute to Bill Withers, but one day late-spring 2020 it just came out. I had started writing the music for what was to become ‘August Scorched Earth’. As usual, I began with a basic drum loop and sat at the piano, and what was coming out started to remind me of Bill Withers. It was something about the sparse groove, the chord changes, the intimacy of the dynamics, and the bluesy melodies that led me down this path. Similarly to ‘The Universe is a House Party’, I was trying to reach new musical territories for myself- the broken down middle section, the various different bridges, and the string arrangement are all examples of this effort. I tried to find a way to both pay tribute to a legend, and also expand on his musical influence and add my own voice. What we ended up with on the album version of this song is something I’m very proud of.”
