17:16 PM“This is our third video directed by David Dalglish, a Scotsman who is gradually becoming the official visual interpreter of our music,” Wynn explains. “And I love the way he captured the triple meaning of ‘Put Some Miles On’ — actual road miles logged, the ensuing experience and wisdom of the turning of the calendar pages and, of course, our love of Miles Davis himself. It’s truly a zig zag marathon!” www.youtube.com - May 9, 2019

15:29 PMOn his mindset while writing and recording for the album, Steve Wynn shares, "Maybe 20 years ago, you might have picked up the morning paper and saw a headline and thought, 'OK, it's good to know what's going on.' Now, I think most people are paralyzed or enraptured by everything that's happening. I think that being a writer or a musician or a novelist or filmmaker, it's a real battle. To not address where the world is at is to be in denial. But if you write about anything specifically it's going to be dated within 24 hours. Without thinking too much about it, I think this record ending up reflecting the feelings right now. The feelings of anxiety and paralysis and of hope and confusion. The songs weren't intended to be a statement on that but it was there. I let them all flow." bit.ly - Apr 10, 2019

14:22 PM"When I was writing the songs for the new album I was pretty obsessed with 'Donuts' by J Dilla. I loved the way that he approached record making as a DJ, a crate-digger, a music fan wanting to lay out all of his favorite music, twist and turn the results until he made them into his own. I was messing around with step sequencers, drum machines, loops — anything to take me out of my usual way of writing and try to feel as though I was working on a compilation rather than ‘more of the same.’ You might not automatically put the Dream Syndicate and J Dilla in the same sentence, but I hear that album when I hear our new one." bit.ly - Mar 27, 2019
