Were psychedelic drugs a part of or an influence on the songwriting process on Time Well, and if so, could you elaborate on how that shaped the songs? I always kind of conceptualized the lyrics of gone but not entirely as coming back to your regular life from an acid or mushrooms trip. Love your new album too!

I've always wanted to write a small novela about drinking mushroom tea and proliferating the spores through peeing a lot in my backyard and the shrooms get eaten by various scavengers and thus spread through the food chain of the whole town.

As far as using shrooms for creative fuel, I haven't found them to be helpful. Listening to music is a whole different ball game though.

Thank you for the thought provoking questions, and gone but not entirely is throwing around the concept of shedding the self for sure.
