During the pandemic the two of us were totally isolated in our home studios. Although the pandemic didn't directly influence the songs on the new album in an obvious way, they did amplify existing feelings of alienation & isolation. The atmosphere & pervasive uncertainty was more intense throughout the process of making the record, but not necessarily a key contributing factor to the songs. Nevertheless, Brian & I found ourselves writing in a more direct and vulnerable way than ever before. Behind the songs our intention was to find new ways to reconcile external & internal conflicts; all that was going on in the world, but also in our own lives. I don't see closure as an end, but rather a beginning. Sometimes you have to burn bridges to light the road ahead. Always, through darkness, light.
