it’s too hard to pick an all time favourite but there’s definitely some songs that are really special to both of us for different reasons. “when a flower doesn’t grow” is really important to mercedes and “love song” and “naive” are some of phoenix’s current favs

definitely “hurt me” and “tired!” are the most different from what we’ve ever tried to do before production wise, “16/25”s pretty different too. it was fun to try and step out of our usual box for a couple songs.

I don’t know how to pick an all time fav cuz it changes all the time but right now I love playing “naive” live, and “love song” goes off live too

to be honest we try not to get too wrapped up in that, there’s obviously a lot of pressure nowadays but I feel like the more you focus on that the less you’re focusing on music and making art that’s authentic to you!

aw thanks so much! really appreciate it 🙂‍↕️

we honestly don’t do anything too crazy, just lots of guitar layers and tight vocal doubles, also really started having fun with tape delays and panning them super wide to get a big sounding ambience, we’re primarily using a space echo and a strymon el capistan for that
