"I wrote Horse throughout the entirety of my senior year. All 15 songs have gone through many iterations and, in many cases, titles— it's been quite a journey and learning experience. The album focuses on the theme of detachment, utility, and positioning, centering around the idea of a horse— a living means of transportation. The songs draw on both the experiences of myself and others through a personal lens, often touching on relationship dynamics, self-conception, or a combination of the two. Each song tells a story, albeit some more literally than others. Regardless, my writing focuses on the development of narrative and headspace, with each song serving as a vignette of sorts."
