The quintet of music majors came together a decade ago.
“Sound-wise, I would say the new EP is probably not as heavy, with the exception of a couple songs that are way more aggressive than we've ever done. We’re really trying to explore the idea of dual lead singers between myself and Claire; she sings harmonies on pretty much everything. She has a phenomenal voice, so we’re really trying to write with a dual-singer mentality now,” Hildebrandt explains. “Everything is a lot more keys- and synth-based than we have been in the past.
“I would say that is always tricky after leaving the studio," Hildebrandt says."You go there with a full song, work with new parts and change things, and then as you’re recording, things are layered in different ways and you’re punching in and out. By the end, the final product, while it’s the same song, it’s pretty different than what you went in with.”
“It's been like relearning your own songs, and not only learning how to replay them, but also actually perform it and make sure it’s more of an engaging presence in concert," he adds. He admits that it’s “a little stressful just because it’s been so long,” but the band is essentially looking to pick up where it left off, particularly after a busy 2019 with 54 shows, including opening locally for“Rehearsal is just really fun and exciting, and we’re just waiting for the opportunity to play all of [the songs] live for people other than whoever lives in the house we’re practicing in and the neighbors who can probably hear it through the walls,” Hildebrandt quips.
