I think these were just some leftovers of being a single dude, travelling around, being in my 20s. Mike Teran.

Whatever the opposite of a well oiled machine is, that was us for a while.
The venues were really big. And all my friends were into it, too. It took a lot of pressure off to try to make a statement. Saltwater Favorite track: Lost. What do they make of it?

Was it an external pressure then? While this is the preferred order he settled on, he said that he tried ranking the albums three different times, rendering three different results. It kind of became an iconic thing. Brian Walker. It's freaking amazing!!
