As a songwriter, his end goal isn’t always crafting the next Modest Mouse hit. Sometimes, he makes music as an outlet to take care of his mental health.
“The state of mind or mood I’m in influences my music because sometimes I’ll utilize it to get out of the state of mind or mood I’m in, or, just to hammer out issues as a way to see if I have any answers without having to overthink it,” Brock says.
“A lot of times it works that way where I just ramble and spit stuff out, and there was the answer I was looking for.”
