'Flicted

"This record being the 3rd in a trilogy of song collections mostly based on film music I wrote for Spike Lee over the past few years, I wanted to move to some new stylistic places and maybe make a more upbeat record overall. We don't get a ballad until #7, the pandemic shut down era piece 'Days Ahead', a duet with Danielle Haim. Lyrically the record is dotted with 3 covid related songs, the aforementioned, 'Tag', and the album opener, 'Sidelines', a duet with Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend, and otherwise ranges far afield with the world of science again a recurring influence. 'Lidar' and 'Point Omega'. The record also includes the 1st ever cover song I've put on a studio release, a total re-imagining of Chuck Berry's 'Too Much Monkey Business'. The album title, 'Flicted', relates to this strange time in which we live, when the world is basically, well, 'flicted!" ~ Bruce Hornsby
