Tim Carr (Perfume Genius, Hand Habits) is singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and session drummer based on Los Angeles. His newest album (out now) Pleasure Drives is a future looking vacillation of hi and low fi production drenched in California sunlight.  Tim explains how growing up in a musical family ultimately led him to a career in both production and performance. He shares his experience at Cal Arts and how that encouraging community helped him find authentic expression. He tells us why the Pleasure Drives cover art guided him through finishing the record and why it felt natural to lean into a more digital in the approach.  Joe and Tim discuss the challenges of finding the core of a song, the strength of limitations in writing and they entertain the wacky idea of tracking drums without any other instruments to guide the song.
