Two songs – ‘Eightfold’ and ‘Gold Coast’ – came together the week we were heading into the studio. Going into pre-production we felt the record was getting too soft for our liking and we had thrown away so many of the heavier tracks. I stumbled through some riffs I was working on and the band said “What the hell are you doing – finish those songs now!” I literally finished writing the songs in pre-production and didn’t have lyrics until I started vocals in the studio. Having played two shows with Cloud Nothings definitely helped shaped these songs – they’ve become one only favourite bands recently.
Officially from the band:
