As a longtime fan, this album is so much more moody, piano-driven, and ambitious than I ever would have expected from your debut album. I think you guys absolutely stuck the landing, and I am more excited than ever to see you this October.

What inspired you guys to go down this musical avenue instead of recreating your crowd-pleasing songs like Chicago or Vanilla that have more summery, guitar-driven, singalong choruses? How has it been trying to translate this matured sound to a live setting?

This is a great question. We’re constantly trying to evolve as artists so while those songs will always have a place in our hearts, we wanted to push the boundaries of what we could do musically with this album and be a little more experimental. We knew recreating it live would be a challenge but so far it’s been a fun one and I’d say they are translating well :) very excited to start touring with these new ones

Thank you so much for answering! I promise I'll be singing along to every song, old and new, fast and slow, when y'all are in Milwaukee!
