In Their Words: "Picture yourself walking through the desert, miles and miles of dirt and tumbleweeds that stretch straight out to what looks like the edge of the earth. You’re ambling along and you spot something there, sticking out of the dry ground. You pick it up and dust it off. It’s a strange claw of some sort. Where did it come from? Why is it here? Your mind creates curious, sinuous scenarios, so delightfully odd that you can’t help but lean into them. That’s the goal of this album." — Kate Vargas
