‘I don’t write singles.
I don’t write pop songs,’ LaMontagne tells EW.

I dont write in any intentional way, he says.
I just let things happen.
I dont force anything.
It was such a generous, kind, creative, playful atmosphere.
Those sessions resulted in the eight sprawling meditations that will make up the rockers still-untitled new album.
I dont write singles.
I dont write pop songs.
Im not that kind of songwriter, and I dont aspire to be.
I let whatever creative force just tell me what to do.
This set sees him lean furthering into space-rock, with echo and reverb.
Im always excited by music, he says of his tireless genre explorations.
Whether its new stuff or old stuff that Im just discovering.
Its such a powerful art form.
Im constantly falling in love, over and over again.
