"This might be the best work I've ever done. I think it's an excellent representation of what I do. It shows a certain maturity and musicianship and I just feel like I have a lot of tools in my musical vocabulary from which to draw that are again the product of the choices I've made. It's on my own terms. This is very much from the inside out and I hope I never stop doing that."

The album marks Buckingham's first true DIY release in which he wrote and performed every song on the record and produced and mixed them as well. Just as his guitar style on Seeds We Sow is more mature and refined, so too are his lyrics, "I think the lyrics over the years have actually gotten better because they've gotten a little, I don't want to say obscure, but more poetic in the way they're created," he says, adding, "It's a mysterious process even to me."
