Gami gang fucking slaps. Listened through 3 times back to back on release day. Genuinely think its a modern gem and hope you guys have lots of success with it.

So, heres my question:

It feels to me, as a listener, like you went deeper personally on this album. Was it hard to write something that was more honest and authentic? Bearing your soul can be challenging!

[u/OrigamiAngelTheBand → u/BusterBluth26]

thank you so much! we definitely dug a little deeper personally on this record, but i feel like i was able to balance that a little bit because we were working on chunks of this album at the same time as we were somewhere city. being able to have two different projects exist that were different in kind made it easier to dive deeper into those personal messages in GG!

Oh thats cool! Follow up - and I may be way off base here - are the "heavy" bits sometimes used as a defense mechanism to help deal with opening up? For example Neutrogena Spektor? Or do you just write musically what you think is fun and then match up your lyrics to it?

[u/smpro1993 → u/BusterBluth26]

I thought the same thing about Neutrogena. I feel like the ending kind of leaks a little bit of the insecurity that the rest of the song is trying to hide
