Indie-pop singer, songwriter, and producer Henry Morris enters the Delulu universe to talk about the beautifully dark world behind his music, and why writing a happy song just isn't in the cards. Henry opens up about growing up in Los Angeles, chasing the "safe" life with an economics degree, and ultimately betting on himself to pursue music instead.
Ryan and Henry get into the recurring obsessions behind his songs: love, drugs, Hollywood, religion, heaven, hell and the kind of romance that probably needs a warning label. Plus how much of the Henry Morris universe is real versus exaggerated for the art.
They also talk Jawbreaker, working with Rob Cavallo, the fate of A Murder at Studio 54, and his new music including "Sex With an Ex," "Good Girls Go to Heaven" and "My Girlfriend." Henry shares the story behind signing with Giant Music and preparing to hit the road again with Artemas for his biggest tour yet.
And of course, the Delulu essentials: manifestation, relationship affirmations, his most delulu belief, and maybe even a little tarot. Is it possible to believe in forever while exclusively writing songs that suggest otherwise? Let's find out.
