“Being a fan of each other’s bands for a long time, it feels like all bets are off and anything goes which is a liberating feeling,” Willis. says “That feeling of making something out of all of these imperfect parts and it becomes this magical, weird, new idea that none of us ever anticipated. Against all odds. That’s the joy of it."

Producer Kurt Ballou adds more context, stating, “It’s interesting, whenever there’s a lineup change in a band...It can take a little while to rebuild. But it’s also an opportunity to reinvigorate the band and I think that’s what’s happened here.”
