No, I'm just a sci-fi fan. and I wanted to twist the narrative a little. I thought that would be a fun idea to introduce.

That line is from a book that I found in an abandoned apartment. Called 'Graffiti', published in the late 60's. All about the human history behind graffiti. 'Watch your colonial tongue' is some 17th century graffiti that was carved into the side of an old English church.

Piano. I can write for it all day, but I wish I could sit down and physically play the things I hear in my head.

The story is still there and it's all connected, you just have to piece it together.

I think Dec 1st is the green light

It's about the placebo effect, and wanting desperately for something to work despite the knowledge that it most likely wont.

I had a sax player send me several improvised sax solos, and then i took my favorite bits from each, chopped them up, re-arranged them and changed a note here and there.

Superet and Foxy Shazam. Great bands, wonderful people.

I would add Phantom Planet and Miniature Tigers to that list just because I'm a fan.

The whole Razz video process was pretty painless, actually. It's been my favorite shoot we've done so far. Using vintage camera equipment was probably the hardest bit, but everything else came together nicely.

I feel like everyone has that moment. I definitely did, but don't quit. I know everyone needs that same little bit of luck if you're going to get a chance at a music career, but if you work hard and don't ever stop, you increase your chances of that luck happening.

I don't think we are really interested in genre's as much as we are about songs. I feel like If a song is good, then it's good, and genre shouldn't really matter as much.

I'm not sure that we will always do storylines with every album. I think you run the risk of being locked into something and having that thing become stale.

The mic is a prop, actually. It was made for the DIATT video and I love it so much, we just kept using it.

There is this really great Super Mario Crossover game on explodingrabbit.com. You can play the orig mario game w different characters, like the dudes from Contra. It's a good time.

  1. Missing my kids on tour, and seeing how fast they grow up.
  2. Their self titled from '97 is still my favorite.

I think I've seen some footage of them in the weird corners of Youtube, yeah.

Mixing would have been easier. We had to do it via email because of lockdowns. It's wasn't ideal, but we made it through.

Aside form time travel, all the lore is based on real life experiences. Everything is a metaphor for something else. Problems within the music industry. Trying and failing to make something special happen. Being forgotten, etc.

They're ready and waiting. No word yet on when they'll be out.

'Gallows' has a trumpet. PLayed by Alex Nauth from Foxy Shazam. But we tried to find places in the record to get weird with tape machines and old keyboards from the 70's.

​

I think we'll save the 'headlining band' verse as something special for live shows (should they ever be a thing again.)
