In Their Words: “With this album, we dove head-first into writing our own original music and, in the process, we learned a lot about ourselves as individual writers and as a band. The four of us come from completely different musical backgrounds, and it was satisfying to hear those personal influences coming out on the record. There’s pop, there’s funk, there are fiddle tunes, and there’s some very personal and heartfelt songwriting.
This band first formed around a shared love of bluegrass and we still love playing bluegrass together. We weren’t consciously trying to move in any particular musical direction; the sound arose organically and feels natural and right to us. It’s fitting and exciting to have our debut record out on Signature Sounds, as in a lot of ways it follows in the footsteps of bands we really admire like Crooked Still and Joy Kills Sorrow.” — Dan Bui
