It’s hard to define Never Records because it is also beguiling to me, an ever-changing artwork that has been a vehicle for me to see and experience the world. After Never Records I’m not so sure what it means to be an artist. I have learned that a good art work is as edifying for the artist as it is to the viewer or listener. And that art can be map for a life full of meaning and adventure.
