Little spoke by phone in early March from Omaha, Nebraska, where he was in the process of mixing these self-produced tracks for a new Saintseneca LP alongside Mike Mogis, who had a hand in producing the band’s last three albums, including its most recent release, Pillar of Na, from 2018. “And then producing a record myself has always been a long-time ambition of mine, which I suppose was compatible with the forced isolation. “Working on creative stuff, for me, is a way of processing or even just dealing with things, so it gave me something to focus on, and it was also good just to have something to do,” said Little, who will join Saintseneca bandmates Andy Cook, Caeleigh Featherstone and Jessi Bream in concert at the sixth annual SoupFest, which takes place at the Valley Dale Ballroom on Saturday, March 11. So, for much of the pandemic, the musician largely kept his head down and continued to write and record, doing his best to stay busy amid the absence of touring and the general lull of stay-at-home existence.
