Yes, please!

I'd like to know more, for example why now?

At least for me, I often have a hard time believing people’s stated reasons for whatever they’re doing.

The substance <> narrative relationship is backwards a lot of the time. Someone does something for a nebulous multitude of reasons, and then post-hoc fits their decision-making into a logical explanation that sounds nice.

There is some psychology research supporting this as well.

I suppose if you see the narrative itself as part of the release, that might be interesting. But most of the time I’d rather just hear plainly and straightforwardly what the thing is.

Or at the very least, I am very accepting of releases which do not include rationalization / narrativization and don’t think it’s required to include.
