Painting 10 portraits of love in all its messy forms, I Love You So F***ing Much is the most personal record that songwriter, producer, and frontman Dave Bayley has ever written. From the existential to the intimate, from the first love we witness around us as children, to romance, hate, and heartbreak—each song is dedicated to a different side of love. From a tiny teardrop in an airlock to a vast galaxy, I Love You So F***ing Much is an expansive record with retro-futuristic production that travels in and out of the “shapelessness of love.” “Show Pony,” the album’s opening track, is a lucid tale of a relationship from start to finish. Bayley shares, “Our first blueprints of love are the relationships we see and experience growing up. They aren’t always perfect, but they completely shape our understanding of love. That’s why I wanted ‘Show Pony’ to open the album. It throws you in at the deep end, but that’s life.”
