"Affectionately is the project of Californian artist and Jay Som collaborator Zachary Elsasser. Formed in 2015 and coming together upon the disbanding of his band Summer Peaks, the intervening years saw Elsasser battling with insecurity and self-doubt, and these feelings are poured into his debut album ‘i spend most of my time in my room’."
"Bedroom pop songs that slowly, carefully expand into something more fleshed-out, the album flirts with indie, psych-pop and folk, but never detracts from the pureness at its core. Elsasser sees the album as “the day I move away from my home,” and it serves as a rumination on an isolated period of his life. Written and recorded in the same bedroom he sings of wanting to escape so badly, its creation has allowed significant demons to be put to bed, and for him to slowly emerge as a new person."
