Matt Pryor sat down with Spin to talk about his recent album:

One of the ways he stimulated that creative energy was via a daily writing practice, scribing 1,000 words every morning “just to see if I could do it,” he shared. Initially, some of those essays wound up on his popular Substack and social media. “I found myself writing about the six months from the end of the Four Minute Mile tour, which ended at the Union Transfer in Philadelphia, to going into the hospital and then getting out and into recovery groups.” As he started working on his new album, Pryor said he decided to stick with that theme. “I wanted to write all these stories down because I thought I might subconsciously try to forget the bad times.”
