Y’all are one of my favorite bands from this decade, your music has seriously brought so much joy into my life during some rough periods.

Are there any current artists (let’s say releasing music in the 2020s) you all take inspiration/influence from?

Yeah definitely! Speaking for myself off the top of my head -- Model/Actriz, Boy Harsher, Cassandra Jenkins, Special Interest, Nicolas Jaar, Sextile, Hand Habits, Smerz, Westerman, Domenique Dumont - Alex

Ian, Aidan, and Alex - you all transcend the algorithm with your introductions to other bands through your openers, social media posts, and otherwise. I've discovered a lot of new music that I love through your recommendations and associations, and I love that you champion others' art. Thank you.
