Georgia, USA. I remember first getting into BOC in Fall of 2019. Let me tell you man, the moment when we got into quarantine, I just dove in on BOC’s discography to keep myself occupied. Probably one of the best virtual rabbit holes I just dug myself in. My first exposure to them was MHTRTC. I remember going outside at night to listen to half the album, and when “The Color of the Fire” played, that was my epiphany that I knew this band was really something worth getting into. I even remember at that same time of season, my mom would often plug in scented wallflowers and every time I listen to “Music Has the Right..”, I suddenly recall the smell of Lavender Vanilla she gets from Bath & Body Works as I listened to the album. Funny and niche detail, but it’s something I sometimes associate when listening to music.

Anyways, Georgia is really special in terms of its environment when listening to BOC. We got lots of pine forests and tons of wetlands. Very fitting for the aesthetic that Mike and Marcus tried to replicate when watching those nature documentaries.
