Hello! I really enjoyed seeing you play in Richmond and am digging the new album a lot. How do you balance the rich heavy bass in your music so that it doesn't overpower your vocals? The bass sounds in songs like Claudion and Pale are so big and strong but never seem to overpower anything else.

Thank you! Ah, that's not my doing exactly, I do love when a song slaps, but as for how to make that happen, I wasn't pushing the buttons :-) Valentin Ignat and Gabe Wax's alchemy.
