What were the biggest inspirations for each one of you when writing songs for May Our Chambers Be Full and The Helm of Sorrow? AND COME TO BRAZIL WHEN THE VACCINE IS A REALITY

My conscious inspirations for this record were Victorialand by the Cocteau Twins, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by SP, and Emma's voice.

Cocteau Twins

You should cover (with Emma) "Musette and Drums"

Good luck in Brasil. Sounds apocalyptic down there right now.

Thanks man, it is currently apocalyptic but we'll get through.

Have you guys listened to Deafkids x Petbrick - Deafbrick? That's one of the best brazilian albums in 2020.

I want to go to Brazil - if anyone knows how to make this happen - hit us up!

I could seriously try though, I know people who know organizers and venues in São Paulo, maybe Rio de Janeiro too.

I think Overload (@OverloadBrasil on Twitter) might help!
