In the last few years Christopher has been on an eventful journey from disbanding the successful Girls duo after two albums, releasing his first ever solo album and stepping into the fashion world by becoming the face of Saint Laurent for their Spring/Summer campaign.

Christopher discusses his inspirations behind the album as well as those he worked with in his own words:

“Every new album is a new testament.

It’s a testament to honest, earnest, simple songwriting—“three chords and the truth”, songs inspired by the fundamentals of American music—Gospel, Country, R&B, picking the songs for this record was exciting enough for me, because they’re some of the ones that speak to me the most, of my memories, real life experiences, my battles, my victories. But hearing the record actually take form and come to life was even more exciting than I imagined. The new ground we worked towards—playing with Ed Efira on pedal steel for the first time, all of it was an amazing experience.

This album is nothing if not a testament to the power of music, and to the musicians that made it—John Anderson, Darren Weiss, Makeda—who all helped make Father Son Holy Ghost what it is, Danny Eisenberg—who was introduced to me during the sessions for Broken Dreams Club and played again on Father Son Holy Ghost, this is now our third record together, and I think that’s what shows.

It’s also my third record with Doug Boehm, who’s always made me feel I had the help I needed when I needed it, and the support I needed when I felt strongly about sticking to an idea.

I could go on and on about all of these people—David Sutton, who I met recording Lysandre, just watching him play is such a pleasure. It’s the intensity with which all these musicians approach the songs that makes me so excited and proud to play with them again and again.

And the excitement, the joy, the sincerity, the craftsmanship, it’s all captured on this record. A new testament.”
