That Too
“The powerful lead single from his new EP The Moat…a smoky, rootsy meditation on love, memory, and vulnerability.” —Eric Alper
The love is a glove / at the scene /
of the strangling / spree
’That Too’ is the first track from my forthcoming EP, The Moat. The song sets up many of the themes the album seeks to investigate—memory, desire, solitude, time (maturity, loss, wisdom), compromise, failure, intolerance, wit, artistry, ambition. The song explores the notion of the “moat” by evoking a structure that is both of earth and of air, protection and isolation: If the meaning of love / is a series of rungs / to a roof // But, then we’ll / dig the hole / and seal up the walls / and it feels just like / a home / a hull / a tomb. ‘That Too’ was the second song I wrote in what would become The Moat (after the song “True”), and, through its angular, surging rhythm, it gave the pursuit of self-exploration a rigorous, rootsy feel.
