About

Just when Sean Solomon thought he was out, they pulled him back in. The songwriter had stepped away from the mic, making the difficult decision with his bandmates to put his Sub Pop-signed band Moaning on indefinite hiatus and recalibrate. He poured himself into animation — an obsession and dream job that quickly became a reality. He made music videos for Run The Jewels and Unknown Mortal Orchestra and CHAI and Odd Future. He was living a dream, but it was only part of the dream. He still heard chords when he went to bed, ached for the feeling that artists like Elliott Smith, The Microphones, and Neutral Milk Hotel gave him.

The itch returned, so he started writing again during the pandemic. He couldn’t imagine a life without songwriting, but he pursued it free from the expectations that come alongside a career in the industry. It allowed him to make music that felt closer to his ideal self than ever before. “That's when it clicked and I started making this kind of music where I didn’t give a shit what anyone thinks.”

One of the songs he recorded with producer Jarvis Taveniere (Whitney, Purple Mountains, Waxahatchee), was a track called “Car Crash.”
