Come on.
(lively instrumental music) ♪ Yeah yeah ♪ ♪ Baby, baby ♪ (lively instrumental music) (audience applauds) For me, it was a really bizarre year because obviously we have this whole year planned and tours ready.
And you're like, okay, you can kinda, okay, this is how the year's gonna look.
You get all your financials and all that stuff.
And then play that festival in Florida.
And then March happened, my wife found out she was pregnant in February.
So, you start planning everything.
And then obviously the pandemic happened and then March you're like, "Am I gonna live?"
For me, there was good aspects of that, like mental health.
Like and then there was obviously the awful aspects of death and impending doom.
And we kept doing this thing, we're like, "All right, once June hits, we're getting back on the road."
And then we'll be like, "All right, once September hits, we're getting back on the road."
And I think when it hit August, I was like, "We're not going back on the road this year."
- I would say, now that we're back, though, everybody in the band came act with a lot of just fresh energy, super excited to be able to play again and do the thing.
And that's been really great for the band as a whole.
It's just, it's rejuvenating.
Everybody's dialed in and focused and like nobody's on autopilot.
And we're just grateful.

But like everybody, I think there were one day it's just existential despair, like am I ever gonna work in this industry again?
Do I need to learn how to do hardwood floors and like figure something else out?
And then the next day would be like, "Oh great, I have an entire summer to just actually do summertime stuff rather than ride around in a tour bus or like play sweaty festivals all summer and travel to the next one."
I mean, I'm glad in one way that I got to have that experience.
I'm not looking forward to having that experience again anytime soon.
But yeah, the summer off, the year off, I guess it had some silver linings to it.

When the Spanish folks were coming in, apparently it was such a weird, they couldn't figure out the coastline or whatever.
And they called it the Alien Coast.
And I always thought that was a really fascinating just verbiage.
And it being obvious to us in Alabama on the coast down there, I just thought that was a really interesting like a strange place that no one can quite figure out, but it feels like home.
I don't know if I call it a concept record, but it definitely has meaning.
The album is set up as like a fever dream or a nightmare.
And it's kinda like this, I mean, blade runner meets the south type thing.
And the whole thing opens with like a prayer, but it like a weird, I don't know, it's called 3080 mass.
So, it's like a weird, futuristic dystopian type thing.
And then basically throughout the record, it's these characters, like there's Greek mythology that shows up and there's these kind of, it's got like this surrealist with kind of mixed with like classical kind of thinking.
And they all kinda merged together.
And then the second to last song is like woken up from a dream or the nightmare and then just realizing that you're lonely and sad.
It's a real uplifter.
But that's kinda conceptually how it all kinda came together.
- Some of those songs have been lurking around since like 2018 or something.
So- - Yeah.
- Pretty ready to get it out.
- Yeah.
But it is that we are very excited this is coming out.
Like we very excited it's coming.

I felt like the last record was our kinda like, okay, now we feel like we can do anything we want, we kinda set it up.
This record is us doing whatever we want.
Communicating Vessels was just a great place to experiment.
The record's kinda dark and gritty and that's kinda Birmingham.
- We were in there for most of February of 2020.
And it was the thing.
It was like everybody could just go home at night to their house.
And so, it was like a much more relaxed thing.
Everybody comes in rejuvenated.
There's no burnout, really.
- So, I think for us, it's just kind of the journey of making music, right?
Like I'd still look at this as an artistry.
And to me, like my intentions are always like, I would rather fail miserably than just try and be mediocre all the time.
That's just me.
And it's been a journey to get there.
And hopefully everybody likes this record and doesn't... - Everybody will not like it.
- No, no, no.
Everybody won't like it, but I'm just saying at least enough people hopefully will like it.
(laughs) - Yeah, and I think enough people will like it.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
