  • Andrew McMahon in The Wilderness, Upside Down Flowers: On his third Wildnerness album McMahon says, “I refer to this album as my land of upside down flowers. In many ways it’s a mirror to my world, an uncanny reflection but not quite the real thing. The songs held within its borders are about friends and loved ones, both real and imagines. The edges are blurred now it seems, but the sentiment remains. I didn’t write these songs to change the world, but they helped me to understand mine a little better.
