I’m very often asked at shows about the writing process of Art Guards and usually don’t give satisfactory answers, so I shot a video of myself flipping through the notebook that I used for about two years while creating the album. The short answer to any future questions: there was a lot of brainstorming, a lot of drafts, and a lot of unfinished ideas and side projects. I have a tendency to look at my favorite works of art and see perfectly polished final pieces, forgetting that there are likely just as many piles of sloppiness in the creation. Maybe this will help inspire you to grab some paper and start your own thing. Send it to me when you do. -Eric
