The first version of elle was a recording project in which JS would collaborate with anyone willing and able.
“I noticed that certain people had stopped going to shows and started making appearances. People were more interested in band members than the band’s music. I became a shut-in, recording music with my friends and without any regard for reproducing it live.”
Much of the solo material has found its appropriate place with his active band, but these releases remain online.
