We walked to the studio in the rain, arriving wet. It's been a while since we've practiced together in the same room. So many things have changed in the last few months, including us and our routines.
We've been working on a whole new way of writing music -- Emily or I will create a demo on our own, and then the rest of the band will listen and write parts on their own, outside of practice. We're working on a new release that will be made in this way. Being soaking wet together in a room is an important part of it: it gets the energy flowing and shows the big picture. But we're finding that being alone in our own spaces and focussing on the details creates a new dynamic. I think this has been true for a lot of things during the pandemic -- a new relationship with self and group. All of the auto-pilot mechanisms no longer work, and we're forced to re-imagine our relationships to ourselves and each other.
With re-imagination comes growth. I think that's what a lot of this new EP will be about. Re-imagining the world we build for ourselves, re-imagining the way we navigate the world that is already built, and learning how to grow into it.
One final note: We'll be releasing a music video next week on Instagram. It's for "Be Obsessed" and was made by our good friend Rael Brian in Florípa, Brazil.

Excited to show y'all the new stuff.
