We love your discussions on the inherently contradictory nature of humanity. The pandemic put a lot of us face to face with our deepest insecurities and the album is definitely all about that haha. We sat with the music for a long time before it came out and in a way the album became even more relevant to us and our experiences during that time. You know it’s funny – we actually finished recording the album in December of 2019 and ended up having to delay the release because of the pandemic.

You wrote and recorded a lot of the album in isolation – does that change the process, or how you feel about it at all? With this song, we wanted to testify to what addiction is and what it means in all its complexity-the day-to-day struggle of living with addiction, the siren song of consumption, and the heartbreak of never getting to say goodbye to someone you love. In popular culture, we often tell a narrow story of what addiction looks like, exaggerating its horrors and pleasures until it becomes a caricature of itself. Addiction is a common motif in art that is often romanticized. We lost our uncle to an accidental overdose in 2019 and this song speaks to the cross-generational ripple effect addiction has on families. ‘Damn (Unstuck)’ is probably the most vulnerable song on the album. Was there a song you were most nervous or excited for fans to hear? The overarching feeling is one of groundedness in motion. If there is a moral to the story of the album it would be something about embracing change and learning to be in the flow. How you feel today is not necessarily how you’ll feel tomorrow. The human experience is complex and there are always a million different ways of understanding our lives and emotions. Probably the biggest takeaway from the album is the nuance of all these existential feelings. Your discussions of the human experience are very raw, as well as relatable! What is the feeling you ultimately want fans to take away from hearing the album for the first time? There’s nothing more terrifying and rewarding than putting music out into the world. You released ‘Dose Me Up’ back in 2020, and this album has been in the pipeline for a long time, how does it feel to finally have it out in the world?
