I’m in a rut. I’m working on the Superhumanoids EP, tentatively titled “We’re Humans Too”, and I’m just stuck. I don’t know if it comes from fear of trying and failing, lack of inspiration, or something completley different. I’m struggling with lyrics, I’m struggling with the sound, I’m struggling with everything.
It makes sense that I would - I’ve almost completely shifted my musical aesthetic, although certain elements obviously remain. I think I just need to maybe take a breather from the crazy amount of music I allow myself to listen to. I guess I just feel chaotic right now and don’t know where to turn aesthetically. I created a folder on my computer called “Essential Albums” and maybe I should just go there and live for a bit. Forget about what comes out new, just listen to the albums that I love unconditionally and shape myself around that.
I really thrive off structure, so maybe this is the best bet. I also need to give myself more conceptual constraints in terms of the EP - no boundaries is great for a start, but its time to bring it back in. To a focus.
