This album was the culmination of everything. Every struggle, every hated job, every night out, every doubt that we weren’t fucking our lives up. A culmination that just happened to be accidentally perfectly timed and would thrust us way beyond our wildest dreams. I can still taste the air that surrounded this time in our lives. It was a blurred line between anxiety and excitement while learning to open bottles of beer with almost anything in your pockets.

Maybe because we’d been trying so long to get there, we weren’t ever gunna put ourselves in a position where we’d be sent home.
