"Basically Andreas from Exile On Mainstream—he had faith in me, mentioned it to me, he said. “Why don’t you play acoustic, man?” And I wasn’t really into it but a few things happened that pushed me in the direction of it and ever since then I’ve loved it. I met Conny after Andreas had booked him as a driver for me on the Adrift tour and I had no idea what to expect. I had absolutely no idea. When I first saw him play I was struck by how intense it was, y’know, it was pretty dark but I thought he had a great voice. There was one time I was tuning up and stringing up backstage, I think in Denmark, and we started jamming. We both knew at that minute that we had something because it just clicked. It was magical. I invited him onstage that night and I don’t think I’ve done a set since when we haven’t played with one another. It just seemed logical. We ended up in England at the end of the Adrift tour and we did the Latitudes thing, and after that we realised we should really make this a serious thing and make it a serious record. In a little time we were able to put together a full record. Y’know, Conny is really an inspiration; he’s amazing."
