“Music's allowed me that freedom to express that in a way that I feel comfortable with. And sometimes it's not comfortable at all.”

Jake Bugg was just 18 when Lightning Bolt introduced him to the world. Nearly fifteen years and seven albums later, he's still making music, but he's got a few more stories to tell.

His latest record, Alamo, is perhaps his most personal yet, exploring love, loneliness and the lessons learned along the way.

I caught up with Jake to talk about growing up in the spotlight, looking back at those early days and why he's now more willing to put a little more of himself into his songs.
