‘Within the Final Hour of Mild’
I needed to share this dialog that I had with my buddy Jason Mantzoukas earlier this 12 months. It was on stage, right here in Los Angeles, at my album launch present on Might 14, 2026. Earlier than taking part in my songs, I had this in-depth dialog with Jason about music and creativity, and my very own inventive course of. And in the event you don’t already know Jason Mantzoukas, he’s a comic and actor and improviser and author and podcast host—you might need seen him in John Wick, or The Good Place or Parks and Rec, or The League, otherwise you would possibly know his voice from Massive Mouth—otherwise you would possibly know his podcast How Did This Get Made? I really like speaking to Jason about music and movie and TV, and our dialog type of touched on all of these issues. However principally, it’s about this album that I made referred to as Within the Final Hour of Mild, which is my fifth full-length, however my first one in 15 years, since earlier than I began making Music Exploder.
