The Concept Behind Chuck Timely & the Hourglass
During his conversation with Jimmy Fallon, Role Model detailed the conceptual roots of his third LP. According to the musician, the project was born out of a two-year period of being single while watching friends get married and life move forward.
Translating that internal vision into recorded music presented a distinct hurdle. Role Model told Rolling Stone that communicating his ideas during production was the hardest part of the process, particularly because he held a very clear mental picture of the album before writing began.

“Harmony” serves as the final track on Chuck Timely & the Hourglass, which became available to listeners today. The production style blends nostalgic elements from multiple eras into what the musician described as weird little cocktails of songs.
