Buffer just hit its all-time high in ARR (annual recurring revenue), meaning the company is doing the best it's ever done before. The last time we were here was 5 years ago, and then had a period of slow, painful decline until mid-2024. I gotta say: while I wasn't here for most of Buffer's decline ...Read more

Buffer just hit its all-time high in ARR (annual recurring revenue), meaning the company is doing the best it's ever done before. The last time we were here was 5 years ago, and then had a period of slow, painful decline until mid-2024. I gotta say: while I wasn't here for most of Buffer's decline period, it's felt *really* rewarding & invigorating to play a role in its turnaround. Happy to share that we actually did it. We're now officially in uncharted territory for the company.

kid lightbulbs LP2 + 3 are a bit cute in retrospect. They're good & I like them, but they were mainly exercises in revisiting past material to keep momentum going for this project – one that challenged me to get out of my shell a bit and finish some unfinished work I was previously unconfident in.

kid lightbulbs LP2 + 3 are a bit cute in retrospect. They're good & I like them, but they were mainly exercises in revisiting past material to keep momentum going for this project – one that challenged me to get out of my shell a bit and finish some unfinished work I was previously unconfident in. Like a little time capsule out of time. LP4 is the first full album's worth of fully original recordings I've made since 2021 (even LP1 was a bit of a hodgepodge). It's feeling like an entirely different beast altogether. Some of the lyrics go back a few years, but it's all fresh and intensely relevant for how I feel in the current moment. It feels urgent yet a bit timeless. It's harsh at times. It's painfully gorgeous in others (if I say so myself). The highs soar higher and the lows trench lower. It's also nowhere near done 🤷‍♂️

To all the folks frustrated, jaded, pessimistic about art in the age of AI: Be weird as hell. Subvert expectations with your art / music / whatever you make. Put your heart and sweat into it. Challenge yourself to make something only *you* can make, something the AI bots cannot replicate. Give pe...Read more

To all the folks frustrated, jaded, pessimistic about art in the age of AI: Be weird as hell. Subvert expectations with your art / music / whatever you make. Put your heart and sweat into it. Challenge yourself to make something only *you* can make, something the AI bots cannot replicate. Give people a reason to have hope that humans can still make original things.

I am thrilled to be sharing the next Kid Lightbulbs remix dropping this Friday - “aquarium”, reinterpreted by @ilybby_music 👐 This is arguably the bleakest song on RUINED CASTLE, and ily somehow turned into two *different* things, both exuding joy – a double-time, high-energy hyperpop blast, whic...Read more

I am thrilled to be sharing the next Kid Lightbulbs remix dropping this Friday - “aquarium”, reinterpreted by @ilybby_music 👐 This is arguably the bleakest song on RUINED CASTLE, and ily somehow turned into two *different* things, both exuding joy – a double-time, high-energy hyperpop blast, which then breaks down to this gorgeous slow jam based on some intimate acoustic guitar and my vocal swinging around the mix. We call it the "joy as resistance" mix. It's truly lovely.

An extremely underrated perk of remote work: if you have a pet, you can have it around all day long *without* needing to worry about whether a coworker is allergic to said pet even better if they sit up like a human next to you while you're working
