I was doing music simultaneously. Tags artist of the day the best of what's next chris pureka how i learned to see in the dark. I volunteered at the nature center and all that stuff. There was kind of a big gap. I was always really interested in biology and science. They were a lot easier to make and I think part of it is I had a much more ambitious plan [with this record]. Not at all, actually.

Well, I grew up here. The lyrics are the hardest part for me, actually.
Chris Pureka delivers haunting, edgy sound on new album
Everyone has their own process. I would go and work in the lab during the day and have some real analytical thinking going on and then I would come home and be really creative. I graduated from college and worked in a lab—I worked in a lab shop for four years. I wanted it to feel like a deeper, darker record and I wanted it to feel different.

And I wanted the record to reflect that. How does that turn up in your songwriting? For one thing, wrecoing lot of people keep journals and keep these notebooks of ideas and have all these thoughts and are always writing things down. It allows you to reflect on so many emotions as the weather changes and everything changes.
And that is true on this record.
I wanted it to feel like growth and maturity, which is how I feel it turned out. I think they take the longest.
Yeah, I hated it. I look forward to it all year long. I could easily see you writing a novel or something because your songs—the imagery is very good and you have a lot of atmosphere. Was upreka always present for you or is that something that has just come with living? I have a comrade in arms here. What did you want to accomplish with this record?
Best of What's Next: Chris Pureka - Paste
New England has historically been this hotbed for folk music—how did you become exposed to it? The only time I ever really write is when I write songs, which is kind of crazy. I was playing music and building a following at the same time and eventually I had enough work from shows—touring—that I could leave the lab, so I did. The previous projects have been much more stripped down and I really enjoyed working that way because it offers so much simplicity.
I know that making a chrus is never really easy, but I can see how someone that puts so much of their emotions into songs the way that you do—I can see how it could be a little excruciating.
And then I write the lyrics last. The seasons here are so important to me. It was really hard for me.

I was doing music simultaneously. Honestly, my songs revolve around a phrase that first comes to mind.
I gather images and imagery and build it onto the song and onto the idea of the song. Was there conflict there going back and forth? Laughs Well, those songs, I never really—yeah, those songs were 8-year-old pudeka And then usually a melody develops out of a guitar part. My songs tend to have a beginning and an end and a progression throughout them.
Not at all, actually. And a lot of songwriters think more circularly or just jump around a balk, making connections. So when it comes down to writing lyrics I have to really, really get into it.
