In Their Words: “In an age of exponentially shrinking attention spans, most music we consume (which is an awfully odd term, I mean cancer consumes healthy cells, lions consume zebras, people consume French fries — it’s hideous language that ought to be reconsidered, same goes for the modern use of the word viral)… Anyhow, it’s often reduced to a savvy-click worthy headline followed by a relatable personal anecdote and a hi-res press photo.
“This is not that. This is a song about breakfast and my thoughts while consuming it, including but not limited to: squirrel drama — a civilization of oat-based creatures who meet their untimely demise by the hands of their creator, a few observations about the nature of the modern telephone, a reference to the Death Star and a mostly failed attempt at rhyming the name “Howie” with “Maui” (it, like, only kinda works).
“Honestly, and I mean this sincerely, I thought this is was the kinda sh*t everybody thinks about over breakfast.” — Darrin Bradbury
