“A very slow accretion of pressure over many years led to the decision to make a new record,” erzählt Kennerly. “We had been lazily working on a few new songs here and there for years–as far back as 2014, when we tried and failed to record a little demo after Riot Fest. But Sergie and I just kept writing the beginnings of songs and sending them around to everyone, and suddenly one day about four years ago we were like, ‘This is enough for an album!’”

“We didn’t have any idea then what was happening, when it was going to be over or whether it was going to just kill everyone and destroy the world,” erinnert sich Kennerly. “It made the recording process take a ridiculously long time, even longer than the ridiculously long time that it was already taking.”
