Produced with previous collaborators Jeff Hazin and Ralph Castelli, i care so much that i dont care at all finds glaive turning inward, reflecting with blunt honesty about growing up and outgrowing his North Carolina hometown.

“I recorded this album in a windowless garage in Los Angeles (a city I don’t particularly like) while simultaneously trying to decide who and what I wanted to be, and how I wanted to present that to other people,” says glaive. It’s a collection of feelings and thoughts that I had over the last three years. It sounds super cringe to say, but I suppose it is my life’s work, or at least it has been what I’ve spent my life working on, so far.”

“im nothing thats all i am”, follows “as if”, the lead single from the album which was released last month. The track begins with a sampling of actor Timothée Chalamet performing a monologue from the off-Broadway play Prodigal Son in one of his first acting roles.

The artist’s three EPs to date – cypress grove, all dogs go to heaven (plus its deluxe edition old dog, new tricks) and then i’ll be happy with ericdoa – have received widespread critical acclaim, resulting in a collaboration with Machine Gun Kelly on “more than life”.
