It was While writing Chuck Timely & the Hourglass, his latest LP, that Role Model felt “lost.”
While conversing with actress/writer Lena Dunham for Interview Magazine, the musician (born Tucker Pillsbury) admitted that he struggled with being single while his friends began settling down, and reflecting on the two-year period during which time he worked on his second studio album, he said:
“I worked on this one during a two-year span of being single.” “It was a lot about feeling lost and constantly having these crisis moments of ‘Where do I belong?'” “I’m at an age where people are getting married and friends are falling in love and taking next steps.” “I was stuck in time and things were moving past me.”
Admitting difficultly having a different type of career from his friends, the 29-year old continued “All my friends work and have real jobs, so they’re free on the weekends,” he told Dunham. “You have Monday through Friday being by yourself, whether you’re working or not, being in your head.”
Having recently split from actress Dakota Johnson after several months of dating, the artist recalled feeling overwhelmed as his career continued to skyrocket while he was making the album, adding:
“I think my career reaching a new place while making the album was very overwhelming.” “You’re feeling lost and stagnant, but you also can’t really do anything about it because you’re on the road or working.” “Obviously any songwriter is going to be overly dramatic, but it does feel that way.”
Alongside Natalie Portman and Mark Ruffalo, Role Mode will make his acting debut in Dunham’s upcoming movie Good Sex.
