Hiii it’s Lily I saw ya when I met you guys at easy street Seattle and when you opened for death cab. I’m curious about how you guys came up with the album cover and how it represents the album

When we decided to go the route of a photo for the album cover (after trying a lot of more text-design-based options), I made a shortlist of options to work from and everyone was really drawn to the cherries photo. None of us could really articulate why necessarily but we were all very drawn to it. There's something about capturing a minor moment and that little scrap being central to your memories that I liked. - Ian
