This effort represents the culmination of five years of writing, recording, and mixing between Baltimore and Osaka, and we couldn’t be more proud of the ownership we’ve had of this album. It’s enabled us to stay true what we’ve always envisioned these songs to be, and was the next logical step in our development as musicians. It’s also allowed us to continue collaborating with some of our dearest friends, without whom this album would not exist. We can’t wait to share it with you.

Many of the songs on this project were written in isolation in my first few years living in Japan. Those first few years were really hard, to be honest. There were times where I felt completely lost. What am I doing here? What is the purpose of it all? Not only was I learning a new language and culture, but I was 1000s of miles away from my friends and family during a global pandemic. And through that experience, and with the constant sending demos back and forth with Phil Bolton -- this album was born.
Last summer, I was able to return to Baltimore for my first time in 4 years, and I was reunited with my best friends, and we recorded these 13 songs. I hope you all enjoy them.
