State Faults

jonathan-jeffrey A few weeks ago I bought the Venus shirt from your store since it was on sale and also because I liked it. Oh, I bought the mermaid button, too. Anyways, I just wanted to say thanks to whoever packaged/sent my order because it came in literally one day, and I found the spot-on drawing of the coach from that obscure show I've only seen three times in my life at 3 am and the Batman cards to be a nice touch. Also, thanks to the entire band for putting out such awesome music! Please keep it up.

Thank you for the support and for ordering merch!  Michael takes great care in makin sure every merch order is unique, we’re so stoked you liked the extra stuff!  you rule!

iamthesoviet I am so looking forward to a tour from you guys. preferably somewhere in michigan. :)

Believe me, we’re looking forward to a tour out that way too!:)

madcowboydisease Record kills it, guys. Keep doing what you're doing and, for fuck's sake, play some more home shows.

Haha thanks man! I know we really do need to, we had so much fun at the release show!

deepestchests what kind of effects did you use to get the tone on the ambient leads?

Just a ton of delay and reverb! All the effects on the record are jonnys line 6 m9

thenillwantthenewone please come to AZ again soon? I love you guys! <333

We would love to! Very soon, we promise!!!

screamingrainbows Desolate Peaks is beautiful. The way it makes you feel when you are listening to it ... its ... amazing. I took a run today, very gloomy outside, wet from the rain, and the album playing the entire time; the surroundings really became a part of the album, the trees in the light breeze, the few birds flying over head, it was was awesome. Thank you. I have a question. When writing music, is it easier to write the lyrics first or the song?

we’re really glad you think so, thank YOU for listening and for the love.  a lot of the lyrics were actually inspired by just spending time in nature so i’m really glad you felt the connection.  it really depends, a lot of the time i’m just jotting down lyric ideas in my phone or in a notebook, and then when we write a song instrumentally i’ll find the lyrics that best fit them.

I forgot to mention that my shirt came in awhile ago. SICK TITTIES.

I wish you’d take me for more than a silhouette

In a city between two failed cities
These kids are drowning
Their anchor eyes are cast to the sidewalk
Beneath a sky full of stars
I just wish you’d make me believe you’re someone else
I wish you’d take me for more than a silhouette
Like the white owls, like ghosts in the snow
Like you’ll never know
Like diamonds crushing diamonds
Like beauty destroying itself
Your heart’s a failing city
So pretend you’re someone else
Like the white owls
Like ghosts in the snow

Season 3 starts tonight!

Everything about this record is perfect. I can honestly say it is 10/10.

Thank you for the love!
