Visually, ‘Dissonants’ has its own logo and the title itself also speaks volumes. What message do you want people to take from the record?
“One of the core themes of the album is the idea that we’re all part of a collective whole. It’s easy to get caught up in this ‘us versus them’ mentality. While there is always an element of truth to that with the kind of fucked up people we have running the world, it’s still kind of important for us to just start seeing us as a collective group of people with: different priorities, different values and different beliefs. As soon as everyone kind of respects and understands that there is those points of difference, we can all find this common ground or common elements and appreciate those. That’s kind of where ‘Dissonants’ as an idea came from because it’s all the dissonant threads that make up a whole. We’re not a preachy band; we don’t really want to have a message per say but we’re very personal people and we try to write emotional and powerful music; part of that is that we have to inject who we are and what we believe in.”
