Says Curt Kiser aka Carriers: "'In My Head' feels like an introduction to the pop side of my songwriting. It's catchy and easy to connect with."
He continues: "The song was written after meeting my partner Kristin and growing close over the course of a summer, about 7 years ago now. She had just finished her degree, ended a long-term relationship, and in that head space of deciding what could be next. I was busy working two jobs in between preparing to tour around the release of my first album Now Is The Time For Loving Me, Yourself & Everyone Else."
"I had completely fallen for her but knew she wasn't looking to commit to something new. Up to that point I'd never written songs for anyone, but for Kristin they came easy. Late one night I sent her the demo version of the track I had recorded after getting home from the bars. She loves dance tracks, and during that summer there was a new wave dance night we would go to together in Northside, Cincinnati, where we now live. I definitely think the song took some inspiration for those nights. I made the demo on bass instead of guitar, added arpeggiated synth, and sang over that. She loved it."
"She probably thought I was nuts but life just didn't feel right being away from each other."
