"SUSTO’s narrative has always been confessional, and songwriting is my way of trying to make sense of the chaos—good & bad—around me," observes Justin. “These songs cover the spectrum of everything that’s happened in my life the last few years. There’s been a lot of change, which can be painful, but there’s also been a lot of joy & hope, along with everything in between. I figure that’s what life is.” He continues, "it’s a mosaic of all the good, bad & mundane things we face as we make our way from birth to death. Along the way we ride the waves, but if you stay true to yourself and push through, I believe you can get to where you
really want to be, and you can shape that mosaic into something that fulfills you. There is a lot of hope in that for me. This record is my story of navigating a bunch of chaos, but finding ways to carry on & manifest my own happiness. The last few years were a challenge, but I look back & see that I made it through, a better, truer & more realized version of myself.” |
