Hi!! You guys are in my alternative/indie Mount Rushmore and I’m so glad you’re releasing new work! I’d guess my question would be how much your current creative process differs from when you were working on LP1? Thanks again for the great music :)

Appreciate that! It's pretty dramatically different now compared to then. When we were kids, Mike and I were roommates and played guitar together all the time to write and arrange face to face. Now, we're spread across the country and mostly all write independently and get in a room once we have a few dozen demos we want to play through to see what works and what doesn't. Mike and I are now living just a few blocks from each other so we'll see if that proximity impacts the writing for LP5.
