The album ‘We Don’t Have Each Other’ will be released in
the UK on July 7th via Hopeless Records. It was produced by Ace Enders of The
Early November at The Living Room studio.
“I had been thinking a lot over the past year about records like
‘All Hail West Texas’ and ‘Reunion Tour’ where The Mountain Goats and The
Weakerthans were able to make me fall in love with the people in their songs,”
explains Campbell. “They created such real, whole characters that I found
myself invested in their lives and their stories. I then realized that almost
every book, every movie, every show that I really love is fiction and that it
doesn’t at all effect how deeply I care for the characters.”
“Everything I had ever written lyrically up to this point had
been non-fiction. I wanted to push myself to get those same emotions out of a
character piece, to make a piece of fiction feel just as raw and personal as
songs about my life, and so I created a man named Aaron and I set out to truly
understand him. I wanted to know where his parents were from and what God he
grew up knowing. I wanted to know what football team breaks his heart every
December and if he has it in him to give up smoking. I wanted to know how he
got here. I wanted to know how he handled tragedy.”
