Andy Jenkins’ new album, *Since Always*, is the product of letting go of self-perceptions, expectations, and presuppositions. Jenkins found the space to trust himself as the guitarist of his own songs, and producer Nick Sanborn took on a new role in production, envisioning ideas and filtering them together. As Jenkins unspooled his tunes, Sanborn listened and let his imagination run wild, flooding Jenkins with ideas—rhythm changes, keyboard flourishes, vocal effects.
