On the phone socal with Orange while he's touring the Midwest, I ask whether this record is a concept album or not, and he replies, "I don't really know what a concept record is! I wanted to make this one cohesive and I had these two socal kinds of songs that I was writing: 'Welcome' songs and 'Nowhere' songs. 'Welcome' songs are about home, ideas of home, and the idea of security and belonging somewhere. socal The 'Nowhere' idea is based on realizing how alone you are in the universe, yet feeling secure in that--just sort of acceptance or something. A lot of it relates to this bus tour I went on by myself last winter. I spent most of the time just sitting on the bus and looking out the window, and it was snowing a lot. It's really important to me, to just sit and not do stuff." Orange got started with his guitar when he was 10 years old and loved Nirvana. For a guy who says that sitting and not doing stuff is really important he seems to have been pretty busy to me.
