Lauded for creating emotive, astute rock with his L.A.-based bands Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin, a sea change occurred for prolific pianist-performer Andrew McMahon around 2014. The old-school model of the music biz had collapsed, allowing McMahon freedom, but a wealth of open doors also brought pressure. McMahon was truly operating In the Wilderness. It was an apt descriptor for a beauty and wildness that was at once terrifying and freeing. As McMahon walked through his creative open door, he wondered, "What does me making music 14, 15 years into my career look like?" His answer: "It was about incubating my creative process with a handful of trusted people, for a journey and end result that's spiritually fulfilling and a purely artistic endeavor, not a commodity."
