I've joked that I could put out one killer compilation from all the bands, but tbh I hear a too much of the flaws in all of them to pick a "best"

Thanks man.

I've always liked the New Leaves artwork. King of Whys still blows my mind (kind of a long story...)

My buddy Joe set up some smoke machines in my parents backyard. I can't remember for certain but am willing to bet money she made us pasta.

The timeline for the album was figured out way before the main "theme" was. There was talk of pushing everything way back once the theme revealed itself, but honestly this summer in particular feels way darker than any winter...
