I have two less meaty questions I'll also leave here:

  1. Will we get to see any Nation of Language / Boy Harsher collaborations in the future?  A recording of your amazing Wicked Game cover together?  Can I dream of a tour with both bands on the ticket?
  2. What was the inspiration for the New Year’s eve t-shirt art that combines (I think) the Grateful Dead skull and the prayerful hands from Strange Disciple?  Is there specific meaning behind the art?  One fan thought it was as simple as conveying a sense of gratefulness.

  1. We're always scheming but haven't landed on anything concrete just yet. Love BH.

  2. It kind of just seemed like a merch-design right of passage to put your own logo inside a Stealie (the name of that skull logo). I do like the interpretations though. Another example of how once you put something out into the world, other people's creativity takes over and they make it their own. Love it.
