Late one night, a series of noises from above sparked a series of thoughts. Something was working. Building a nest? A trap? It led to reflections on the unseen—a God, or perhaps just a voice in your head. It all feels made up until someone responds to it.

"Less is more" has always been our mantra. This time, the rules were simple: we could only use what we play live, and every recording had to be replicable on stage. That is consistently when we are at our best—or our most twitchy.

In the past, we’ve often fallen in love with our live arrangements only after the record was finished, usually because the struggle of being a two-piece forced a "tortured grape" kind of innovation. With this album, we started there and worked backward. The result encapsulates our live sound more than anything we’ve done before. It is, by definition, our definitive album.
