Says the band: “This album is the result of many years of loss, love, anger, depression, hopelessness, and joy. It was written around the 5 stages of grief, and aims to portray our own individual struggles and eventual successes through the album’s protagonist. We have distilled our personal battles with mental health both musically and lyrically into a cathartic piece of art that we hope benefits you as much as it has benefitted us.
If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health, please get help from a trusted family member or friend, and/or call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988. As cliché as it sounds, things truly do get better—let this album be a testament to that.
Thanks to our families for their unwavering support, every band we’ve had the pleasure of sharing a stage with, every venue that’s hosted us, the local and DIY scenes for fostering an environment for bands like us to share our art, and to you. Thank you for giving us your time to listen to what we’ve made, we hope you enjoy it. Support local art, support live music, support small businesses. Stand up for one another. We’re all we’ve got.”
