In this episode of Indie Rock Catalog, we explore how creative limitations in writing and recording music can shape unique artistic outcomes—and when they might do the opposite. Joined by Scott Jackson of Boy Named Sue, we dive into the impact of working with perceived constraints, whether it’s minimal gear, a simple recording setup, or self-imposed boundaries on songwriting. Scott challenges the idea that boundaries always enhance creativity, suggesting that identifying and moving around a limitation can also unlock fresh ideas. From personal anecdotes to reflections on legendary artists who thrived under constraints, this episode examines how "less" can inspire—and when it’s time to push past it.
