IMPOSE MAGAZINE: What was your mind state going into Respect The Architect? BLUEPRINT: It’s a weird story. I had done the Adventures [in Counter-Culture] record. It was dark and I was going through some stuff after losing a family member in 2012. So after that I got to a place where I didn’t want to make anymore dark shit. The personal part of it led into me asking myself what do I really want to get out of this shit. Not in terms of profession or financial things, but more like emotionally what do I need music to be for me right now. It put me in a place where I was like ‘I’m going to do something that makes me happy’ and takes me out of this place of… it’s okay to make dark music when you’re happy, but when you’re unhappy that shit is wack. I had an opportunity to do it. I finished a couple songs and felt like finishing it, making something that really reflects where I am now. There were a couple songs I thought about putting on there that were a little bit darker, but as it got closer to finalizing it I left them off. The shortness isn’t because I didn’t want to make it longer. I just wanted people to feel good when they listen to it.
