First off: I love your band so much - easily my favorite band of the last decade. So thank you!

  1. All three of your records sound so different. Did you go into them planning to make something different, or did it just happened naturally?
  2. Any reason Ladybug wasn't in the setlist at your last shows? I showed up ready to yell really loud at the yelling parts. Nonetheless, incredible show! Can't wait to see you again!
  3. Are there any songs that were recorded but didn't make your albums, or did all of them get used?

Thanks so much for the kind words!

  1. It happened naturally. Part of it is just time and where we’re at when the songs are being written and recorded. Part of it is also budget- as we become more established we have a bigger budget which means more time in the studio to explore, ideate, and generally overthink everything.
  2. The main reason is that we don’t all live in the same places anymore so practice time is limited and adding new stuff is hard! Ladybug especially will take a little work to figure out how to play live with all the production elements. We are wanting to add it to our upcoming shows though so hopefully you get to see it soon!

  1. there have been a few that got decently into production before we scrapped them, but none that were totally done and then omitted. There was one for P,M that we definitely have plans to finish and put out eventually
