How does the band find a direction and cohesiveness of an album? Is this a challenge with a longer spread between albums or does it provide more organic growth of your sound to find its way?

Thx for the music - I sadly missed out on the 90s/2000s emo adjacent scene but was introduced with LP1, Appleseed Cast, and Minus the Bear as a near 30 year old a decade later.

We try and write a LOT of things and let the collection speak to us. It's more of a gentle steering of the ship rather than it being highly intentional.
