In this episode of Indie Rock Catalog, we explore how creative limitations in writing and recording music can shape unique artistic outcomes-and when they might do the opposite. Joined by Scott Jackson of Boy Named Sue, we dive into the impact of working with perceived constraints, whether it’s minimal gear, a simple recording setup, or self-imposed boundaries on songwriting. Scott challenges the idea that boundaries always enhance creativity, suggesting that identifying and moving around a limitation can also unlock fresh ideas. From personal anecdotes to reflections on legendary artists who thrived under constraints, this episode examines how "less" can inspire-and when it’s time to push past it.
