When we made Discovering the Waterfront there was something so special about the process. We’ve made the last 3 records essentially the same way. The process was get in a room, jam it out and let it come out how it comes out. This time we’ve decided to switch it up and write an entire album instead of just a collection of songs. We’re considering the flow between songs and transitions a lot more, and lyrically this record will tell a story. It will be a concept album.
