Catchy Quote by Nicholas Thorburn

“I operate in such a vacuum. I write by myself, it's a very solitary experience, and I'm not used to, I've never had a label or anyone to say, "We wanna hear a single, we gotta come back and retool some of these songs until they're more catchy."” quote by Nicholas Thorburn
