"I've always resonated deeply with Wes Anderson’s films," muses Isenberg. "There was something so familiar about the way he captured the ache of adolescence." He admired how Anderson’s cinematic language juxtaposed local vastness with cosmic tininess, and he was drawn to the off-kilter mixtape quality of the soundtracks—how perfectly they mirrored the plotlines. Inspired, Isenberg set out to reimagine songs by artists like David Bowie and The Velvet Underground through the lens of jazz orchestration and improvisation. The resulting album is a sonic storyboard, a soundtrack to the wonder, loneliness, and nostalgia of modern life. DownBeat Magazine raves, "Movies for your ears are somewhat cliché, but Isenberg has gone way beyond that. This is a movie." The title track, "The Way I Feel Inside," is an intimate portrait of unrequited love, though Isenberg sees it more as a song about the burning desire to be seen: "Should I try to hide / the way I feel inside." Before recording the album, he came out as queer and ended his ten-year marriage. Like Anderson’s films, the album captures the journey from loss to liberation and, ultimately, acceptance—an arc Isenberg knows intimately. While Anderson’s films may not be overtly queer-coded, they became a secret decoder ring for Isenberg’s own experience as a newly divorced, queer jazz musician finding his way in Brooklyn.
