I preserved my own integrity, Rodriguez says. Theres something about not being comfortable, knowing my integrity and ethics, knowing my path and where Im headed Im fueled by not choosing to be comfortable.Captured by producer David Baron at his Sun Mountain, situated atop a ridge amid the ancient Catskill Mountains of Woodstock, New York, Harboring Pearls was co-produced by Wesley Schultz, lead singer for indie-folk juggernaut The Lumineers.Now? Its just me and the storm, Rodriguez says. All the chips are in on this one piece of art. Am I crazy? Do I trust myself? What I am doing? Its this lingering feeling that I have no idea where its headed, but I need to go wherever its headed.That internal, more so existential quest of self, of purpose and pursuit, lies at the core of Harboring Pearls. Numbers like of El Dorado, Anything and Everything and Graduation paint vivid indie-folk pictures of Rodriguezs journey unfolding in real time.Its about transcendence, and thats been such a wild process, Rodriguez says. Theres been this pressure cooking with the songs. A lot of coal being compressing into diamonds.And what resulted was this steadfast platform of trust and radiance offered by Schultz, one where Rodriguez felt comfortable standing on, the culmination of those sessions being this cultivation of truth and sacrifice the lies within each selection of Harboring Pearls.Youre on your own and these are your pearls, Rodriguez says of this latest batch of tunes. And youve been harboring them for so long. Its time to pass them out.
