Tell us about your latest release
Ya we’ve just released a single called “Vows”, it was released Oct 1 st . And we’re about to release a second single called “Biodome” Dec 1 st . Hoping to have the full album complete and released sometime in the spring. Pretty stoked on these new songs, feels like some of our strongest material yet.
What was the recording process like? Was it in a studio or do you do it all yourselves?
For the first album and the EP that followed we were in a studio. And although we definitely enjoyed the process it was not cheap and we felt like we had to really get things done quickly. For this next album we’ve been working on it in our own space and being able to take a little time with the process...we’ll it feels like a bit of a luxury to be honest. We’ve been enjoying the craft a little more.
How do you guys write the songs?
For us it can work a few different ways but often Cam (guitar) or sometimes Mike (bass and producer) will bring in a song or maybe a riff or chord progression. We’ll then jam it out and start to shape the song as a band. Once we get a good structure Jin (singer) will come in and lay down some of her magic overtop.
What were your main influences while writing?
We have a wide variety of influences between us all. Jin is really in to dark wave these
days, Mike loves yacht rock, lol. And Cam likes anything with a beat. Alexis seems to love country metal fusion
What is your favourite song on the new release and why?
As a group we collectively end up with “Biodome” stuck in our heads whenever we play it. I think it’s maybe the as close to pop song that we’ve written.
How did you come up with the name of the release?
We haven’t got a name for the second album yet. Once everything’s recorded or maybe during the process a name will become clear but no name yet.
Have you got any gigs or a tour coming up where people can hear the songs live?
We’re really excited to be playing the Cobalt in Vancouver this week! Long wanted to play there . That’ll be our last show of the year. We’re going to to get back to writing and recording and get the album finished up over the winter. Look for us playing live near you
come the spring and summer!
