10 - Bide Your Time: "Keep It To Myself"

Employee of the Myth

"When you release [a song] it's no longer yours, so you put it out into the world, and it finds its own path..." —Andy Maize
Private thoughts, public work: a contrast that many artists and performers encounter, and Andy Maize and Josh Finlayson are no exception. Their ability to step back from their own personal challenges and present an all-embracing picture of the world may be one of their superpowers, but ...they're only human. In "Keep It To Myself", the raw emotions felt after a loss are held close to the chest.
In this episode, Josh and Andy talk about the balance of personal and private. They also touch on of the topics of grief, comfort, social media, road trips, soundtracks, and the essential role played by Josh's rhythm guitar.
You'll also hear Andy and Josh perform two songs: The brand new "Keep It To Myself" (Bide Your Time, 2023 ) and "Northern Shore" (Northern Shore Deluxe, 2012). Both tracks are recorded by Tim Vesely, live-off-the-floor at the Woodshed Studio in Toronto, Ontario.
