If you’re wondering what inspires Barry Marrow’s pen game, look no further. He told 108Mics, 

“My life and my daily movements is really the main factor of my writing. We all got our bullshit we go through, and at the same time, we feel joy because, without pain, we wouldn’t feel so good from it, so it’s a lot of mixed emotions in my writing and also a lot of versatility because I love keeping my listener’s minds wondering.”

Overall, MOTHMAN is definitely an album you want in your playlist. It really gives you leeway to level up and remain an open book.
