Background
Alex Casnoff began writing American Appetite after immersing himself in the Enron documentary The Smartest Guys in the Room, becoming interested by the sociopathic mindset of figures like Jeff Skilling, noting how the album’s title track came directly from that obsession.[4] Casnoff also explained that the album's themes focus on the broader "American Condition, and the power and the greed that ensues".[5] Songwriting on the album is character-driven and rooted in observational storytelling, with Casnoff likening their approach to artists like Randy Newman, Leonard Cohen, and Paul Simon while adapting it for a contemporary context.[1]
