Really, inspiration can come from anywhere — including your childhood imaginary friends. On “Face in the Wallpaper,” Andrew Weiss and Friends hearken back to childhood attachments in a wistful folk song that reminds us that innocence and playfulness don’t need to live in the past.
“When I was around 6 years old, I used to wake up at 6AM every Saturday morning to watch cartoons in my parents’ room. The wallpaper in that room was white and green, and when you stared at it for long enough, it became a portal into a new world,” Weiss explains to The Boot. “Faces appeared, bodies danced and relationships formed with imaginary friends … until everyone else in the house woke up, and everybody in this world disappeared. “Face in the Wallpaper” was written about those experiences.”
