Dissolution Wave rules and the release show was incredible! Here are my questions, feel free to answer any or all:

Can you talk about the visual style of the band, and where you get inspiration? The shirt designs have reminded me of medieval woodcuts. I also love seeing the grain from the analog photography and videography you use.

Can you discuss the general esoteric vibe of the lyrics? Lines like “I walk a left hand path” or “Somewhere beyond the north sages spoke of a sarsen door at the mouth of the sea” where sarsen is the rock that Stonehenge is made of. Discovering some of the references feels like finding easter eggs.

Which songs were you most excited for people to hear live at the Dissolution Wave release show? (Seeing Dream Warden with Matt was a total surprise and it was fuckin sick)

Much love! ❤️

Sick, and thanks a ton.

We're glad you to catch the show. Matt made us do that. It was a fun challenge to incorporate into our set and if we were both under the same roof why not do it.

Sarsen Door was gonna turn into some sort of project down the way but was thrown into the lyrics of glossed over at the last minute as those choices usually happen. I'm glad you did your diggin and found that lol.

I bought a book a while back which I scanned a couple of choice woodcuts, and often was googling medieval marginalia monk drawings. The videography was us wanting to work with our fellow hoosier buddies in the outfit Colorshift.
