“The only authentic in a room full of plastic.” A Note From Aly: I made Pocketwatcher when I was still delivering food to pay rent and I was reflecting on that particular moment in my life. If I’m not mistaken I was late to drop off somebody’s breakfast because I was finishing up the second verse. Listening to this song takes me back every time. It's about balancing patience with the process and working to stay optimistic with all the discouragement that pursuing a non-traditional path entails. The process for this song was fun, it started with me making a beat in the airport. First I laid down the basic drum groove and then (my favorite part) was me chopping up and re-pitching my friend Charlie’s bassline to make the current one. I changed all the notes and moved them around a bunch to make an entirely new melody. I recorded the whole song to just drums and bass, and then took it back to Ben and Charlie and added the guitars and synths to finish it off.
