A bit of a rundown on where we're at right now...
Our second album Reckoner came out in June. We technically had it almost finished in the tail end of last year, but a power cut totally screwed a hard drive and we lost a shit-ton of work, had to re-record a bunch of stuff. Whilst we're super proud of eventually getting it out the gate, on top of a ton of personal real life stuff we were all dealing with, along with the existential nightmare that was (is) the political climate in the US, that time of our collective lives was NOT fun.
As the album was effectively delayed, around the downtime of redoing the mixing etc we actually started writing album #3 and that's well underway now. Thankfully, it's been a much more positive experience. Is the album positive though? Erm... kind of?
Politics and collective personal experiences definitely had a massive influence on Reckoner. We wanted #3 to be a bit lighter and fun, and the first half definitely is at least(!). On a personal level though, early this year I was diagnosed with BPD. While I can write the dumbest of dumb songs, I also deal with my trauma and various demons through my writing. The second half ended up picking up on that a lot, so while the first half of the record is bouncy and fun, the second half mayyyy have collectively ended up being a hell of a lot darker than what was on Reckoner... If I do say so myself though, it 100% fucking slaps, so there's that 😂
Really excited for people to hear it. We always want to try different stuff on each record, flex our creative muscles and whatnot, and I can proudly say we have gone all in on that. We're a little older, maybe a little wiser, and we've had such an amazing time bouncing off each other and trying new stuff. Massive props to Suze too because she has done a fucking fantastic job on getting it all together and making it sound kick-ass. Love all my girls and it encapsulated exactly why we're in this band and the absolute bestest of friends.
Anyways, will post more stuff as we go but I guess that's about it for now!
Peace and love ✌🏻
