New York, New York

Speaking of albums being linked to cities, my first album vertigo is really a New York album. Although it was made between Dublin, NYC, and LA, it has New York in its veins. I was working out of a studio that had would’ve had a view over Times Square had there not been a billboard right in front of the window. The siren in “float” I recorded out that same window. The guitar in “gold” was a 1940s guitar that was in the apartment I was renting in Brooklyn . I was there to watch spring turn into summer, so I experienced the snow, rain, and sun, and how the city transforms with each. It was a really turbulent period in my life and that city just focused all that gritty energy into the music.
