5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna start with the song. Well, let me

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: ask you this. How's the road right now? That's great?

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: And how was the ride down last night?

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 3: You know, be mind little bumpy?

9
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: Was it really?

10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 3: Yeah?

11
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: But you didn't get tangled up in any of the storms. Afterwards,

12
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: we were on.

13
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 4: The bus and we heard it starting to hit, and uh, yeah,

14
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 4: I felt very sad for them, because that is not

15
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 4: a fun load out.

16
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: Oh I bet it so very very hard they do, yes, right,

17
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 2: And you were inside the bus.

18
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 3: Watching Netflix the.

19
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: Stories. To me, when I'm sleeping on the bus, I'm

20
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: effectively dead to the world.

21
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 5: So I didn't notice anything bumpy last night. I just

22
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 5: woke up here.

23
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: So you get on and you are done.

24
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you know, when I'm sleepy, I'm yeah,

25
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 5: But there definitely have been moments where I wake up

26
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 5: the middle of the night, I'm like mid air from

27
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 5: the bump and then fall back down to the bed.

28
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 3: But then there you go, you know, because the years

29
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 3: have gone on.

30
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 6: The bus has gotten progressively quieter and quieter and quieter

31
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 6: after the shows as yeah as you know, because it

32
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 6: used to be like kind of the party bus, and

33
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 6: now it's good.

34
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 3: Really it's like a meditation. It's a refuge.

35
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: So you guys get on afterwards. So like like go

36
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: back to I'm assuming first record, we were still we were.

37
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 7: In a van.

38
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody's driving, you know, everybody's doing whatever, the.

39
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: Like.

40
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: I know you were searching for an eight person bong

41
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: for the bus, so I'd imagine, I.

42
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 3: Know what I've found one.

43
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: Did you really shut up?

44
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 4: Well, we've had a couple of different implements. Let's just

45
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 4: say okay, yeah, and we it was a mess. It

46
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 4: was disgusting when you finally got on a bus, it's

47
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 4: like this is the coolest thing ever. Let's we didn't

48
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 4: trash it. But we were like twenty twenty one, so

49
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 4: not the most response. And now you realize, like, oh,

50
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: we also have to live in here, so like let's

51
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 4: let's like clean up our messes and put stuff away,

52
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 4: make your beds. Yeah, it's it's the boring stuff that

53
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 4: keeps you going.

54
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: So everybody, well, now mindus Eric, but now so everybody's

55
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: got a family, like like Pine, like you were saying,

56
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: we get on the bus, it's kind of chill. Everybody

57
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: calls home, talks to kids. That's their whole thing. Do

58
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: you sometimes miss what it was like when you were

59
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 2: twenty one and it was the party bus?

60
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: No.

61
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 6: I will say if if we never had those experiences,

62
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 6: maybe I would, uh.

63
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: You know, like miss or like yearned for that.

64
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 6: But because we've done that, I feel like I scratch

65
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 6: that itch right and we've moved on. And we do

66
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 6: have some fun nights on the you know, like it happens,

67
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 6: but right now.

68
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 8: Out into the world and have a drink.

69
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: We actually do a lot.

70
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 6: Of post show barbecues with other bands and kind of

71
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 6: like just like hang out and rhymes like a very

72
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 6: kind of like summer camp vibe, which is cool.

73
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: It's really fun.

74
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: So, how is the like I mentioned the records out obviously,

75
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 2: how's the now that we're I don't know, handful a

76
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: dozen shows into the end of the tour, how's the

77
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: the records great? By the way, the record is fantastic.

78
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: How's the how's the fan reaction been?

79
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 5: You know, it's actually progressively gotten more exciting as people

80
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 5: are starting to digest the new music. Like last night,

81
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 5: we were so surprised because we played Evergreen and I

82
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 5: saw like the first thousand people several hundred at least,

83
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 5: singing along to the song. And its like, it feels

84
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 5: so exciting now that people are really like it's getting

85
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 5: into the bloodstream for them.

86
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: The and Evergreen, it feels like, especially like the part

87
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: where it kind of breaks down, it's I mean, well,

88
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: first of all, I mean energy wise, it's great, but

89
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: I feel like it's one of those that's so easy

90
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: to get into. It just kind of get going. I

91
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: could totally see, like you said, as it gets digested

92
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: more and more of that being like a very big

93
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: moment during during a show.

94
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's sick just getting more and more like

95
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 5: that and just exciting to see people sing a lot

96
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 5: of the new stuff, you know.

97
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: Is the breakdown in there? I think I read somewhere

98
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: the breakdown that you guys do where no music, it's

99
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: just you guys singing. Was that an ode to Queen? Yeah?

100
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 5: Definitely.

101
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 9: In the Trick the Trick Bag, we were discussing on

102
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 9: the way it was the last writing retreat we did,

103
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 9: and Joshua Tree in the desert, and we were discussing

104
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 9: what was missing from the record, and we were kind

105
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 9: of a few of us were talking about how, you know,

106
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 9: Bohemian rahpsy, and not to compare the songs at all,

107
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 9: but just what Queen, So.

108
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: You think bohemian total garbage, Let's do this, right?

109
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 9: What what Queen did so often with their layered vocals

110
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 9: and having these really grand moments and their and their

111
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 9: songs was something that was that feeling was missing a

112
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 9: little bit, so we wanted to have a song on

113
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 9: the record that had a little bit of that feeling.

114
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 8: So it was a little bit of an homage for sure.

115
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: That's awesome, No, but I think that's great. I kind

116
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: of like that.

117
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: It's kind of like a little bit of a hidden

118
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: thing that went on. You mentioned the writing retreats, So

119
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: you guys did you did Joshua Tree, You did some

120
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 2: mountain house a little while, right, Okay, so you went

121
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 2: away there and did the writing?

122
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: Why like why, like why was why was that a

123
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: thing this time? Through?

124
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: I think a home.

125
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 10: I mean, we were writing always, we always are constantly

126
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 10: like sending each our ideas, but we had a bad

127
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 10: house at the time, and just on the other side

128
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 10: of the door was reality. You know, it's like I

129
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 10: need groceries, someone fell down, someone's crying. I gott go.

130
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 10: And so we realized that we needed to silo the

131
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 10: writing a little bit just to kind of give us

132
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 10: space to be creative and kind of reconnect as a

133
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 10: group and not have like the immediacy of like day

134
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 10: to day life just on the other side of our

135
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 10: studio door. So yeah, if you're three hours away, it's

136
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 10: really hard to jump back and go get some new

137
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 10: milk or some.

138
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: Think, right is what is the band house?

139
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 10: The band house was a little bit of a tragy

140
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 10: of the commons. Weel bought a house together and just

141
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 10: before COVID and we used it to write and a

142
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 10: lot of American Bollywood was put together there and no

143
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 10: one lived there, but it was a great little refuge.

144
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 10: We used have pull potties and write some music.

145
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: And so you guys just bought a house just it.

146
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 9: It was our rehearsal space around, right, and it was

147
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 9: our headquarters.

148
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 8: Essentially. We don't have it anymore.

149
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 9: But we learned that these writing retreats are much more

150
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 9: fruitful and get a lot done.

151
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 2: Well, no, you're right, because somebody could call and all

152
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: of a sudden, it's like, oh, sorry, well I gotta go.

153
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 6: I think when we first started with one another, we

154
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 6: lived in multiple different houses before we got signed, after

155
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 6: we got signed, pretty much up until the Mind Ever

156
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 6: Matter era, so about five six years we lived in

157
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 6: six homes over southern California with one another, sharing rooms

158
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 6: and all of that.

159
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: And the two bedroom apartment that apparently.

160
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: First, Yeah, that was the second spot.

161
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 6: The first pub was in Newport Beach and the second

162
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 6: spot was in Hollywood and it was, Yeah, it's basically

163
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 6: a two bad dream apartment with a loft that was

164
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 6: Jacob and Francoise room. The loft and studio the Sunset

165
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 6: Strip by the Guitar Center, and we used to bike

166
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 6: the Sunset Sound when we were recording the record there

167
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 6: with Joe Ciacarelli. But I think we were kind of

168
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 6: looking for a little headquarters spot after we all had

169
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 6: moved down gun our on spots, we kind of wanted

170
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 6: to bring it in again, and that was kind of

171
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 6: again the same thing what we did with the writing

172
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 6: retreats was coming out of COVID.

173
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: We had written American Bollywood very siloed from.

174
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 6: Almost one another, sending things, postal service style demos and

175
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 6: working and kind of like little feel.

176
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, anybody was doing that.

177
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was It was kind of the necessity. And

178
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 6: we're really proud of that album, but we wanted to

179
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 6: come back to the way we wrote the first record,

180
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 6: where it really was this a visceral feeling of of

181
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 6: five guys a band in a room writing moving air.

182
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 6: And we did that again on this record, and we

183
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 6: recorded it live with with Brendan O'Brien and it was

184
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 6: just it was just an incredible experience.

185
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: So two things, number one, the well couple of things.

186
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: The band house. So everybody just was like, did we

187
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: five equal parts? And we bought a house. Yeah.

188
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: It was an old house too, so it's like, oh,

189
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: the roof is leaking. Oh, there's problems with the electrical

190
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 3: So that was the part of it. Like, okay, it's

191
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 3: probably a lot cheaper to just go like away for

192
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 3: five days.

193
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: Did you take a loss on the house?

194
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: No?

195
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 6: No, no, it served a purpose and it was a

196
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 6: time and place and then you know, we've moved on

197
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 6: from it and we.

198
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: At Oh I would imagine so yeah, if I bought

199
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 2: a house with four of my buddies, and had the

200
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: best time there.

201
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: I would have never left to go help somebody.

202
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 9: We did, We did h and we did write, not

203
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 9: as much as these writing retreats for this most recent record,

204
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 9: but we did write Different kind of Love, the first

205
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 9: single off the record, and uh and.

206
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 8: Mona Lisa there.

207
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, a few of the songs on the record were

208
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 9: written there, right, and.

209
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: Then the the the the so that so you end

210
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: up selling the house, so that that that thing is gone.

211
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: Go back to the apartment for a second. That things

212
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: that that's probably a two million dollar apartment.

213
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 6: Now I don't even know. I mean, we were just

214
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 6: renting that. And this is when, Oh it wasn't Dan then.

215
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 6: I'm sure it was a trash all, but I'm sure

216
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 6: Nowlge was a little iffy. It's not really my so

217
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 6: we we all?

218
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,760

00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 6: From basically in between the two of them. I mean,

220

Speaker 6: some of us live in in West Los Angeles, and

221
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 6: I like the energy there so much more. It's way

222
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 6: more chill, and by the beach is a complete of

223
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,080

Speaker 2: So could Also the other thing I want to you

226
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: mentioned the Brendan O'Brien, and I don't I'm not a like,

227
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: I don't know producers and record engineers and stuff like that,

228
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 2: but in reading about you guys going to work with him,

229
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: he's got a pretty impressive little, uh little resume. How

230
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: does he did? He did Sound Garden, he did Pearl Jam,

231

Speaker 2: he did Springsteen, He Rage Against the Machine. How like,

232
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 2: how do you guys end up? Like who finds who

233
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: to get that done with Brendan?

234
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 9: I mean, we were writing this record and we were

235
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 9: thinking about a few different producers, and Brendan someone who.

236
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 8: You know, I grew up listening to Springsteen.

237
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 9: I was born in New Jersey, so my dad, both

238
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 9: my parents, my dad especially a huge Springsteen fan, and

239
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 9: The Rising was one of the most important records to

240
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 9: me growing up, and so Brendan was. Actually he's also

241
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 9: done quite a few Incubis records. And we toured with

242
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 9: Incubist back in twenty eleven, right when we first started out,

243
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 9: and we had no idea who any producer were, you

244
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 9: know was And Mikey from from Incubist was interested in

245
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 9: working with us on the second record, and he said, oh,

246
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 9: I'll bring in Brendan O'Brien and well, you know, do

247
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 9: the second rate.

248
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 8: We had no idea who Brendan O'Bryan was.

249
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 9: We ended up working with someone else for that second record,

250
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 9: so it was kind of this like full circle thing

251
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 9: where you know, we were making this all together.

252
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 8: Was a very band centric record.

253
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 9: We wanted to capture energy in the room, and Brendan

254
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 9: came to mind in that regard that you know, someone

255
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 9: who's a real uh band producer, real rock producer, and

256
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 9: so we met up with him at Henson. He works

257
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 9: out of a studio called Henson in LA And from

258
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 9: the first meeting we all got in a room with

259
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 9: him and we were like wow, just very impressed with

260
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 9: his ethos and his mentality. We really didn't want to

261
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 9: overthink the record. He seemed like someone who, as Mike

262
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 9: Einziger calls him, the Larry David of record producers. He's

263
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 9: hilarious and he just keeps the momentum moving in the

264
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 9: room and he was just the exact person we needed

265
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 9: to make this record.

266
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 3: Quite incredible pace when we worked with him, so we had.

267
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: Like it like it.

268
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 11: Yeah.

269
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 3: So we did like a little bit of.

270
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 6: A pre production, right, we brought we you know, kind

271
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 6: of like played in the songs.

272
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 3: We had some ideas.

273
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: Okay, so he doesn't he doesn't go out to like

274
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 2: the writing houses or the writing rotine.

275
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 3: Well he met us.

276
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 6: We did like a pre production phase for a week

277
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 6: at the band house, but just to kind of like

278
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 6: play the songs and like talk about the arrangements. We

279
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 6: made some edits and then that way when we went

280
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 6: into the studio and we're you know, spending the time

281
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 6: and the money to be in the studio, we could

282
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 6: be really efficient with our time. And we recorded Evergreen

283
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 6: on the first day at Henson Studios. And after that

284
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 6: ten hour day and this is including getting drum tones

285
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 6: and guitar tones like all those things and everything miked up,

286
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 6: we had ninety percent of what you here on Evergreen

287
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 6: that's released now we had at the end of the night.

288
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 6: And we did that every day for fifteen days. We

289
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 6: had basically recorded fifteen songs in that time.

290
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: So what one a day in band world, That's that's

291
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: pretty quick.

292
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of the quality that we had at Yeah,

293
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 3: for sure.

294
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 10: When we first started with Joe Chiicarelli, he was like,

295
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 10: that's like the Ba, you needs to be doing a

296
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 10: song a day otherwise you're not cutting it.

297
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: Oh real, Yeah, Oh, I feel like that's a lot

298
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: of pressure though.

299
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 10: It is, but it's like it's it's a good it's

300
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 10: a good kind of ethos to be in because it

301
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 10: just makes you move quickly and not overthink things.

302
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I also say that as somebody who's never

303
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: written a song, so like that seems like really intimidating

304
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 2: stress out.

305
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Brandon with Joe, Yeah, I was dressed out and

306
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 4: it took us like five days Joe.

307
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 3: For our first.

308
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 6: Record when we were all you know, eighteen nineteen, going

309
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 6: into Senset Sounds Studio one, working with the legendary producer

310
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 6: that was being on a record, first major record label.

311
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 6: That was definitely a big adjustment. I think coming into

312
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 6: our sixth record at Henson with Bend and O'Brien were

313
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 6: just at this level of musicianship and comfortability and trust

314
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 6: with one another that we could just show up and

315
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 6: just crush it. I think like when you're working in

316
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 6: that pace, it forces everyone to just tune in and

317
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 6: just really focus and it could happen. This is how

318
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 6: good Brennan was.

319
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 10: I'd show up me and Eric would usually show up first,

320
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 10: and he would always be playing the piano and he'd

321
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 10: be playing the melody in the right hand a compliment

322
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 10: and like singing along. So he had these like piano

323
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 10: renditions of the songs that we're going to work on

324
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 10: for the day, orion his fingertips before we got on

325
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 10: the door. So he knew the whole like architecture of everything.

326
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 10: He's just like that, pretty amazing. He's pretty amazing.

327
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 6: Guitar bass, he could sing like he could you know,

328
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 6: it was just great. He had great ideas, and like

329
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 6: a good producer, he was able to facilitate those ideas

330
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 6: through us. You know, he was he would to be

331
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 6: like do this, but he'd be like what about something

332
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 6: like this?

333
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 3: And then like you know, someone pick up a guitar

334
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 3: and be like, oh yeah.

335
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: Can he like like you mentioned like like your parents

336
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 2: being huge Springsteen fans or your dad being a huge

337
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 2: Springsteen fan and you being like, can.

338
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: You talk to him about stuff like that?

339
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: Like does he have I'm sure he's got amazing stories, yeah,

340
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: but is that like, uh like off limits?

341
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 9: He was talking about you know, his many you know,

342
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 9: many artists he's worked with. Yeah, he and he just

343
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 9: has great things to say about most all of them.

344
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 8: And and it wasn't one bad thing.

345
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 9: It was all the fun stories and the friendships he has.

346
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 9: And uh, yeah, he did that one record with Bruce

347
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 9: and I think when he was in Atlanta and we

348
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 9: ended up Samir and I met Bruce in December for

349
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 9: the first time and it was we brought him up

350
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 9: and he said and Bruce had a lot of good

351
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 9: things to say as well.

352
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 8: So yeah, it's all uh uh.

353
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 9: In the you know, uh spirit of making records. He

354
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 9: he loved, he loved talking about all those records.

355
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: Does Victory Gordon feel like it's your sixth record or

356
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: does it feel does it feel like it's just.

357
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: Gone like that?

358
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 5: You know, I don't think it feels like it's gone

359
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 5: like that. I mean it's very strange. I mean our

360
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 5: third album, you know, Home of the Strange. There's ten

361
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 5: year anniversaries this year too, which is kind of just

362
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 5: so surreal think about. And I always thought, you know,

363
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 5: it's been a couple of years between the last few records,

364
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 5: it's been four years in between, but still somehow we've

365
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 5: managed to do six records. And I was I was

366
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 5: actually looking up because I know Death Cab is putting out,

367
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 5: you know, putting out a record right now.

368
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: It's their sixth record.

369
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 5: Death Cab has been around, you know, a bit longer,

370
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 5: a good deal longer than we have. So I was like, wow,

371
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 5: it'll be actually pretty good pace there, you know.

372
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 2: Oh you most need to slow it down, Yeah, we

373
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 2: need a break.

374
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 12: No.

375
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 9: The thing about the sixth record I would say is

376
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 9: it feels like a fresh you know, like the book.

377
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 9: The first five records we've described it as like you know,

378
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 9: the chapters in a book, and then this Sick record

379
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 9: does feel like a new book, like it's a totally new.

380
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 8: Whatever.

381
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 9: If the kids are calling it the air a new era, right.

382
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 9: But for us, you know, we we you know everything

383
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 9: from you know, record label, like just energetically we feel

384
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 9: the way we recorded it and wrote it. It really

385
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 9: feels like a return to form from like the early days, but.

386
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 8: Just you know, with a lot more experience.

387
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 2: Eric I was reading something where you said that when

388
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: you were talking about kind of going back to how

389
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 2: you did the first record, where whether it was an

390
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: apartment that everybody was in or a nicer apartment, an airbnbing, joshuitchery, whatever,

391
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: it is or your own band house. But it was

392
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: still in principle the same thing. But you were talking

393
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: about how hard it is to be in a band,

394
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 2: especially when it's been this long. There were there times

395
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 2: during whether it go back to the first record or

396
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 2: or or writing this one and having this one come

397
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 2: out where it was where it was that hard where

398
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: you guys thought, I don't know if there'll be whether

399
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 2: it's a fourth record, fifth record, was there was there

400
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 2: a bump along the way where where I don't know

401
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 2: that you question whether you would make it. I mean,

402
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 2: you guys have already made it, but continue on as

403
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 2: a band.

404
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 9: Well, that's a good question. I think that any band,

405
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 9: any member of any band, would say that it's difficult.

406
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 9: It's in terms of, you know, you are living and

407
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 9: breathing the work when you're at home writing and recording,

408
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 9: and then you live on a bus or in a van.

409
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 8: So it's it's a lot of very close. It's like

410
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 8: a brotherhood.

411
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 9: So there's difficulties with you know, when I think when

412
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 9: we were younger, I think there's, as you can see

413
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 9: with so many artists, so many bands, that with time,

414
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 9: there's this fear of like, well if the communication gets

415
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 9: worse or if the if the you know, this could

416
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 9: go wrong, this could break you know, so many artists

417
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 9: break up for members leave, and with the testament to

418
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 9: us is, you know, I feel like it's just getting better.

419
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 9: I think with the sixth record, when we went out

420
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 9: to Joshua Tree or Idlewild was our first writing retreat,

421
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 9: we just kind of all broke it down with each other.

422
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 8: And it wasn't like you know, there's.

423
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 9: No uh bad, no beef. It was breaking it down

424
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 9: as like, hey, like let's let's really see each other.

425
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 9: Let's really where are we all at because everyone, you know,

426
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 9: we we we have all the guys have young kids,

427
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 9: so you know, with life getting you know, adulthood, all

428
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 9: of those guys.

429
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 6: We had entered we had entered a new chapter. And

430
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 6: I don't want to I don't want to know anything.

431
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 6: I was saying like for I think for me it

432
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 6: was like for maybe for all of us, I think

433
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 6: almost the external factors of being in a band was

434
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 6: more difficult than the internal. I think this is always

435
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 6: felt effortless in a way, you know, I think with

436
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 6: any relationship at ebbs and flows. But and I want

437
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 6: Eric to finish this thought there but like I think

438
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 6: it's just like the like everything around us, all the

439
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 6: externals actually just the climate and music and in the world,

440
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 6: Like that's that's always difficult, you know, and for everyone, right.

441
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 9: Oh, absolutely, yeah, I mean it's it's it's really for us.

442
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 9: On this record specifically, we got back to really like

443
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 9: reconnecting as friends to the point where the music just

444
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 9: came naturally, Like it was just very intuitive writing. We

445
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 9: were just like, you know, together writing and previous records,

446
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 9: the last few records have been you know.

447
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 8: Super collaborative.

448
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 9: But it's also with COVID with Yeah, with time, I'm

449
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 9: saying it's like also the pressure of being in a

450
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 9: band and trying to keep it rolling. But we feel

451
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 9: i think fresher and more excited about this band than

452
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 9: we've ever felt in many, many years.

453
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 8: You know, it really feels exciting to us.

454
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 3: Does that?

455
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: Does that pressure stem from being eighteen, nineteen, twenty years

456
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: old and the first record puts out to massive songs

457
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 2: like does that? I don't want to say it's unfair

458
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 2: because it's everything that you want, right Yeah, But at

459
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 2: the same time, it's like, holy.

460
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: Crap, like we we we we did really well, really

461
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: quick It's interesting.

462
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 5: I think us as a band, especially in that time,

463
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 5: you know, probably what fifteen years ago, there was kind

464
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 5: of like a formula to a certain degree where you know,

465
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 5: if you did like there was kind of a thing

466
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 5: like if we'd maybe done cough zerre of two point

467
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 5: zero on the second record, that there, you know, is

468
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 5: like oh, built in arena kind of in your future.

469
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 5: But I think to our credit, like as a band,

470
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 5: I think the thing that gave us the pressure the

471
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 5: most was like the internal thing to kind of like

472
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 5: really find our sound and ourselves and continue to evolve

473
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 5: and grow and like so our you know, our favorite

474
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 5: artist was like Radiohead, and it was just really trying

475
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 5: to go and be ambitious. But I think and that

476
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 5: has really played really well into the longevity of our career.

477
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 5: I think no one's really like kind of put us

478
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 5: into a box of you know what era we're from.

479
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 5: But at the same time, we found ourselves like getting

480
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 5: to the point where we were just like trying to

481
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 5: over intellectualize everything. Our second guests are intuition, so this

482
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 5: was kind of really like getting back to that. And

483
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 5: I think if anything, the pressure was yeah, like internal

484
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 5: being like we want to kind of show where our

485
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 5: minds can go because we've just kind of scratched the

486
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,239
Speaker 5: surface of Young the Giant and this time really not

487
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 5: worrying so much about that and just really having fun,

488
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 5: like getting back to just the joy of being in

489
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 5: a room, because there were years where you know, we

490
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 5: were still having fun. I love going to the studio,

491
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 5: but there are you know, definitely mornings of like, oh man,

492
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 5: I got to go, you know, the studio today. I

493
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 5: hope that something works out today. It is your job.

494
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: I mean it's for a lot of people that's it's work.

495
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 2: Your work just happens to be your musician.

496
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and music doesn't, unfortunately, just doesn't work that way.

497
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: You can do nine to.

498
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 5: Five every day and bang your head against the wall

499
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 5: and nothing will come, and you know, you might be

500
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 5: in the shower at like nine pm and like that

501
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 5: that one melody that comes into your mind is the

502
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 5: song that changes everything. It's just kind of you kind

503
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 5: of have to kind of trick your mind into getting

504
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 5: into the place of being relaxed and having fun. And

505
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 5: this record and that the process of writing it truly

506
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 5: just felt like that we were just there was no pressure.

507
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 5: We were just kind of like just enjoying each other's company.

508
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,479
Speaker 2: And I also feel like this may be fair or unfair,

509
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 2: but it's just my assumption. But like whether it's just

510
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 2: listening to music or reading about you guys, you guys

511
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 2: took advantage and maybe still do of not just traveling

512
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 2: the States, but traveling the world, of taking advantage of

513
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 2: nothing's been handed to you, but of what you've gotten

514
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 2: to go out and explore and learn and learn about

515
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 2: culture and learn about different people and how they live

516
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: and not just bus venue, bus venue, playing bus venue.

517
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: Yeah.

518
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think as a band, we have an appetite

519
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 10: with traveling and just people in general.

520
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 3: We get.

521
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 10: I mean, I'm European, princewas Canadian, Like we have many

522
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 10: different like descents in aban and you know that's the

523
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 10: topestry that makes you the giant is just like all

524
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 10: those different perspectives. And yeah, I think we just have

525
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 10: a good appetite of life. We like to grow, We

526
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 10: like to meet people. You know, we've really pushed all

527
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 10: like fil on for the efforts the last couple of

528
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 10: years and like you know, going sometimes we'll go to

529
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 10: like a children's hospital and play and like just like

530
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 10: expanding a horizon to kind of give new color to

531
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 10: the day to day on tour, and we continue to

532
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 10: do that, like.

533
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 2: I love I think I think you mentioned maybe it

534
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 2: was Eric you who mentioned like Mona Lisa was.

535
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: Done at the band House or something.

536
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 2: But like when you hear that the song which is

537
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 2: which is great, I imagine every one of you have

538
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: been to the Louver, probably more than once, so just

539
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,239
Speaker 2: that perspective of being in there and seeing the and

540
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 2: seeing the picture and then kind of writing what it's about,

541
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 2: even whether it is or isn't Sheryl Crowe that she's

542
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 2: listening to. But like I imagine it's not just everybody

543
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 2: knows who the Mona Lise is, but the actual experience

544
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: of taking in the Mona Lisa and going to the

545
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 2: Louver and.

546
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 5: Learning definitely, I mean in order to write me that

547
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 5: you have to experience life, you have to be in it.

548
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 5: And I think we're really blessing this position where I

549
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 5: think we would call ourselves in a great way kind

550
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 5: of semi famous, where like nine times out of ten,

551
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 5: I can live my life. I go to this store,

552
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 5: I can go do what other people do, and every

553
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 5: once in a blue moon they'll be someone will be

554
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 5: like come up to me and be like, hey, can

555
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 5: we take a photo, and they're usually very respectful. It's

556
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 5: not a position where I have to or any of

557
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 5: us have to like separate ourselves from society, because it

558
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 5: becomes much more difficult to write music in particular and

559
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 5: to be honest to the human experience when you're not

560
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 5: living a normal experience. So like and if you're in

561
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 5: the studio every day or you're just kind of not

562
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 5: doing anything, then you have really nothing to write about.

563
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 5: So we definitely take advantage of that time in between

564
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 5: to you know, live life and do things.

565
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 6: I think another really important thing and what makes I

566
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 6: think us as a unit so great too, is that

567
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 6: we like we are the writers, you know, right. I

568
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 6: mean we have collaborated here and there with you know,

569
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 6: brother producers, are the rights maybe for like one or

570
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 6: two things this and that. But like the majority of

571
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 6: young vagiint is like these five people, you know, and

572
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 6: we like write everything, record everything, we perform everything. I

573
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 6: think that's what makes it really special, and that like

574
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 6: we're like a real rock band, Like we're still still

575
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 6: doing it.

576
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 3: You know.

577
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: So has has Sheryl Croton not gotten back.

578
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 3: To you guys?

579
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 8: We're waiting, waiting Cerril.

580
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 9: I've founded her out on many of the interviews we have.

581
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: We have two tickets under our name and every venue

582
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: is there. Is there a place you haven't played? Is

583
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: there a place that.

584
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 2: You look at and go, God, damn it, how have

585
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 2: we not played there?

586
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: We still haven't played Japan, which is yeah, are you serious?

587
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: A Japan hates young I think.

588
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 6: Also it's even more surprising is Mexico City, because we

589
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 6: have a huge following in Mexico and we had a

590
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 6: couple opportunities. We're actually supposed to play a festival there

591
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 6: during or coming out of COVID, and we couldn't because.

592
00:25:55,320 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 1: Of because of cod you got COVID.

593
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 9: Covidor was yeah, and I was already in Mexico, so

594
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 9: my uncle.

595
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 3: Were already there, so I was already my whole family.

596
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 6: It was a Vaca city, so it's fine to be

597
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 6: out there. But it was just out of like abundant

598
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 6: precaution that you know. It was like the line was

599
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 6: still showing that it was possible.

600
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 5: It was back when you couldn't come back into the

601
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 5: country if you have like I was in Spain at

602
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 5: the time, so so.

603
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 2: You weren't coming back to the country anyway.

604
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 5: It's really nice, but there was a whole racket, you know,

605
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 5: there's a whole bunch of people like you know, doctored,

606
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 5: like fake negative, you know, COVID results. I'm like, I'm

607
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 5: just gonna wait out and extend my vacation for a

608
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 5: little bit longer. Here.

609
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 1: Oh well, that's lucky to get to play. I'm glad

610
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: you too had.

611
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 3: A great vacation time. It was really fun.

612
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: Wait was it I may have this wrong France. Wis

613
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 2: you missed a show once when you were sick? Was

614
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 2: it COVID or not?

615
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 4: It was COVID. I thought I was going to die.

616
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 4: It was the first time I ever missed a show.

617
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 4: Got it from some mirr I really got from licking

618
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 4: like handrails at the airport the past time of mine.

619
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just started feeling really bad.

620
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 4: And then it's at Elevation in Albuquerque, and I was like, man,

621
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 4: I can't breathe. I don't want to faint on stage.

622
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 4: I took great pride in never having missed a show.

623
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 4: We're very fortunate. Our drum tech is a fantastic drummer

624
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 4: in his own right. He he hears me play the

625
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 4: songs every night, so he was ready to kind of

626
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 4: step up to the plate. And I had this really

627
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 4: surreal experience where I was driving to the airport hotel

628
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 4: where I was like quarantined for three days by myself,

629
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 4: and I heard the band playing on stage and everyone

630
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 4: else during soundcheck can walk out and like, listen, I've

631
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 4: never heard my band from.

632
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 3: A PA and right, it was so cool.

633
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 2: I you're right, you would never hear your own band playing.

634
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess unless you get sick, which now

635
00:27:58,640 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: I don't blame Samir.

636
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: I think I blamed the drum tech. Actually yeah, ME

637
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: get it, but.

638
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 2: That you're But but when when I saw that, I

639
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: was like, that's a crazy experience to hear your band

640
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 2: playing without you in it.

641
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 3: It was actually really cool.

642
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 4: And then three days playing video games in an airport

643
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 4: Hilton was not cool.

644
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 3: That was terrible.

645
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 4: But we're I guess worth it just for that that

646
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 4: fleeding moment.

647
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 2: God, that's amazing. All right, let me do this, give

648

653
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 2: By the way, am I am I dumb for not

654
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 2: knowing what a Victory garden was before you guys named

655
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: your record Victory Garden.

656
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 4: No, it's I don't think it's a super common knowledge.

657
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 4: It was kind of something that we happened upon as

658
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 4: we were just kind of talking about, like, you know,

659
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 4: obviously there's this historical version of what it was, but

660
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 4: it felt really symbolic for you know it basically for

661
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 4: people who don't know it was you people during the war,

662
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 4: during the war effort were growing food in their own

663
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 4: gardens in public spaces and just to help feed the country.

664
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 4: And it just felt like there was this parallel with

665
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 4: you know, how you can kind of cultivate your own

666
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 4: life and your own garden and your own community and

667
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 4: try to do things on a smaller scale that actually

668
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 4: end up affecting a lot more change, right, And it

669
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 4: just it felt like it was in line with everything

670
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 4: we were talking about. It's also just cool words together, sure,

671
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 4: and it just elicits some great imagery. So yeah, kind

672
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 4: of once we started talking about it, diving into the history.

673
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 4: It's it's actually really fascinating, even just the Wikipedia.

674
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: You know, all right, what are we what are we playing?

675
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,440

00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,080

00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 2: That's awesome. That's not a great Thank you guys very much.

710
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 2: And I like now that I know, like the little

711
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 2: Easter egg behind the breakdown, I like that.

712
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: That's really good. I like that the two other East egg,

713
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: well one other Easter egg for sure.

714
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 2: The the I guess kind of the first single if

715
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 2: you will, that that came off the record, A different

716
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 2: kind of love, right, was the lyric always my body

717
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 2: tells me No? Or was that was that intentionally done

718
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: as a throwback to my body?

719
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 4: It was?

720
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 5: It was definitely intentional. Thought would be really fun to

721
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 5: kind of throw that little easter again. And you know,

722
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 5: usually we write lyrics, we try to as a group

723
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 5: really get ninety nine percent of the lyrics done that

724
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 5: first day, because it's just I don't know, we used

725
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 5: to do the thing and a lot of singers do

726
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 5: where you kind of like we still just to kind

727
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 5: of expedite the process. Usually it's like gibberish that comes out,

728
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 5: and sometimes if you're lucky, like there's some real great

729
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 5: stuff that comes from that gibberish and then you you know,

730
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 5: piece it together. We just like were like we forced

731
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 5: that process in one day, but a lot of times

732
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 5: people are like, oh, we'll just do the lyrics later,

733
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 5: but it just kind of dilutes everything.

734
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,919
Speaker 1: So that that idea and concept came, you know, pretty

735
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: quickly when we're in that room, and.

736
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 2: Then then with with with Ever Clear, and then or

737
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 2: ever dream Rather and then I'm going to go back

738
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 2: to a different kind of love. You were talking about

739
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: how how Queen was like a big influence in that

740
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 2: song where it broke down? Was there was there anybody

741
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 2: that was a big influence for a different kind of love?

742
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: Is anybody in the band a huge Jeff Buckley fan?

743
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, there was kind of like the Leonard Cohen

744
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 4: Jeff Buckley like I hear.

745
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 2: That song especially, like not the entire song, but there's

746
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 2: parts of it where I hear I love Jeff Buckley

747
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 2: and I heard I was like, oh, Jesus Christ, Jeff

748
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 2: Buckley could sing the song.

749
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, there's definitely we realized that when we

750
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 4: were working on the verse, like is this too close

751
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 4: to Hallelujah?

752
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 9: Ended up putting the chorus at the beginning of the

753
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 9: song to make sure that it wasn't right at the top.

754
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 9: But I think overall the record was I mean, we

755
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 9: have our influences just naturally, you know, or subconsciously, but

756
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 9: I think even with the Queen thing, it wasn't really

757
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 9: a conscious like, oh, let's make a song like it

758
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 9: was like, oh, you know what, the record's kind of

759
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 9: missing a song that has that the grandeur of it,

760
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 9: or like, let's make the bridge very long and and

761
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 9: do some stacking of vocals and harmonies. And then once

762
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 9: we did that in the studio with Brendan, and Brendan

763
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 9: learned that we could kind of stack the vocals background

764
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 9: vocals as well, and just do a bunch of layers.

765
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 9: Then we start throwing that kind of uh, you know

766
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 9: on a few other tracks too, and.

767
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: Then obviously we're out on the road.

768
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 2: You'll be at You'll be at wolf Trapped tonight, one

769
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 2: of the other things I read was there was a

770
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 2: big focus and maybe it came out of the way

771
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 2: you wrote and recorded where it was like we're just

772
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 2: gonna go in and we're gonna do it for the

773
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 2: live performance, which I know has always been important, but

774
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 2: maybe a little extra important for this tour. I don't

775
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 2: know if that's a that's a fair way to put it, yeah,

776
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 2: but that it definitely was was in mind in getting

777
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 2: everything done.

778
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 10: I think Young the Giant, it's like a pursuit of perfection,

779
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 10: always like we always want to be better and this.

780
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 10: You know, we've been touring a lot, so when we

781
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 10: entered into this Summit tour, we're like, let's kick it

782
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 10: up again. Let's give our fans something different, because you know,

783
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 10: if you saw his last summer, you don't want to

784
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 10: come see the same show. So we worked really hard

785
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 10: to represent the new record, also the ten year anniversary

786
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 10: at the hum of the Strange Songs. But yeah, this

787
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 10: is the best live show we've ever put on. We

788
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 10: worked with a musical director, which was such a treat

789
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 10: because we always see like working with someone like Brennan,

790
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 10: it's like now we get to pick these people that

791
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 10: we can like learn from and siphon off some of

792
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 10: their tricks and kind of just like grow as people.

793
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 10: And we I think we really accomplished it with this

794
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 10: Summer said it is, it's no bangas, there's no bathroom, Briggs,

795
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 10: it's time to go.

796
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: What is it like when you say you work with

797
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: a musical director, What does that? What does that mean?

798
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 10: Just someone to come in and you know, anyone in

799
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 10: our band could musical direct, like and we have done

800
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 10: it for the last couple of years where you know

801
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 10: it's like, oh, the base tone could be this, or

802
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 10: we could do this in the bridge live to make

803
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 10: it different, but bringing in someone else's perspective that like

804
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 10: obviously had heard of our band, but he like really

805
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 10: like dove into the catalog and just came with some

806
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 10: fresh ideas to represent songs that we haven't played before.

807
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 10: And you know, for us to get out of our

808
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 10: own muscle memory of like well, silver Tongue and Tyrope

809
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 10: worked really well at the end of the set, and

810
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 10: now we're not playing Tyrope and you know, we've just

811
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 10: like kind of revamped our show to kind of put

812
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 10: a new code of paint on it. And I think

813
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 10: it shows last night's show was amazing. Like I really

814
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 10: felt like we had never gotten a crowd really to

815
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 10: that level, especially at the Stone Pony in like ninety

816
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 10: plus degrees in this community.

817
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 3: It was a great show.

818
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, how does some was it?

819
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 2: I don't remember. It's within the last week or ten days.

820
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 2: You guys were in Atlanta and Group Love gets up

821
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 2: on stage.

822
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: How does that?

823
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 2: Like?

824
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: How does how does that happen?

825
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 2: Like? Who? Like?

826
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 1: Were they just there?

827
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 10: There are homies and they're from Atlanta.

828
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: Oh so you called them when you got there? I

829
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: mean Group Love's great.

830
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, we told a Group Love and we're still

831
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 10: in touch with all the members honestly, obviously some more

832
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 10: than others. And yeah, we just reached out and we

833
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 10: wanted to, you know, celebrate our friendship and it's always

834
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 10: good for us again, you know, bring some new ingredients

835
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 10: into the live show. And I love playing that song.

836
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 10: I've had them play that song so many times, so

837
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 10: to actually get my hands on the guitar it was fun.

838
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,720
Speaker 2: No, I was gonna say the clips that went around

839
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 2: were great, Like it was like it was really really good.

840
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 2: The other clip I like, Pie, I think it was

841
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 2: your birthday in Charlotte. Your hair almost went up in.

842
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: Flames, God forbid. Really, yeah, I felt like it got

843
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: pretty close.

844
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 3: It's news to me, thank goodness, it didn't the how.

845
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 2: Important are not not videos from like out on the road,

846
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 2: but videos for songs?

847
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: How how important is that to you guys?

848
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 3: Like music videos?

849
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, we feel like you guys put a lot into that.

850
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 10: We put a lotto everything.

851
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 3: Honestly.

852
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 10: This uh, this time around, we you know, representing Victory

853
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 10: Garden was like gonna be challenging in some ways because

854
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 10: the the American Bollywood aesthetic was so defined and we

855
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 10: knew the story we were going to tell, and this

856
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 10: time around, we yeah, I feel like we crushed it.

857
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 10: So I'm not answering this question very well right now.

858
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 10: But there was like we were offered to go over

859
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 10: to Columbia to work on it, and we ended up

860
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 10: bringing the director to the States, and yeah, I don't know.

861
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 10: He again, he had his own vision of representing the stories,

862
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 10: and we just trusted his aesthetic.

863
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 2: And because you'll get you'll get something like Bitter Fruit

864
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 2: where it's like just having fun into studio and then

865
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 2: and then already there and.

866
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: You're like, whoa boy.

867
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if I was expecting that to be

868
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 2: in there, but it seems like it's not just we

869
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 2: have to put out a video because something has to.

870
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 1: Be on YouTube.

871
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 2: It just seems like there's there's I don't want to

872
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 2: say more to it than that, but like actual thought

873
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 2: and and art.

874
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: That goes into it.

875
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, we have a chance to kind of contextualize the

876
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 5: song when we have music video, and it's really great

877
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 5: to kind of see different takes and visions of of

878
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 5: what the song can mean, particularly to George Kinda, who

879
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 5: is the director of both actually of Different Kind of Love,

880
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 5: Evergreen and already There. It's really kind of great to

881
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 5: see those those parts united and have there be a

882
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 5: really human story. I think like the goal of our

883
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 5: music is to have it be a universal experience. But

884
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 5: when you have a music video, you can kind of

885
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 5: take it into a lane and people like, oh, that's

886
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 5: a that's a unique way of looking at the song.

887
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 2: And then I realized that we're kind of at the

888
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 2: very front end of the tour and you'll you'll run

889
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 2: all through North America and then you.

890
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: Head overseas to Europe and play all over there. What

891
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: is the if? The if?

892
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 2: Will you guys write at all along the way, or

893
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 2: because of how this one was, where we're going to

894
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 2: go to writing retreats.

895
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: Does that like, I don't know if you guys are

896
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: like road writers at all, or I'm assuming that you're

897
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: always ideas you're not.

898
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 3: We can't write on the road.

899
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 4: Oh really, We've honestly tried so many times. I think

900
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 4: the show takes so much out of you. Like, by

901
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 4: the time we're done with the show, we're all exhausted,

902
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 4: and we want to make sure that we kind of

903
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 4: reserve our energy for that and to you know, give

904
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 4: people the best version of the show every night, and

905
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 4: that takes a lot of focus and energy. And by

906
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 4: the time we're done with that, even despite our best efforts,

907
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 4: we've brought recording gear out in the past, I think

908
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 4: the only song we've ever written on tour was t

909
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 4: a song called Titus Was Born, which is on the

910
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 4: third record. It's like, it's impossible for us. I don't

911
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 4: know why, we just can't do it. We have to

912
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 4: be like those two things are silent.

913
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 3: We're so busy.

914
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 10: I mean, we're here right now and we'll go to

915
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 10: sound check after this and then you know, like and

916
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 10: then we have vi IP and then we'll be playing

917
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 10: a show and then they'll be the next city.

918
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 12: Right.

919
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: If I'm being honest, I can't believe you're here right now.

920
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 2: When it was like, well, I know they have a

921
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 2: show last night, they got one tonight, but they'll still

922
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 2: come in, I was like serious, And despite what you say,

923
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 2: you guys are very famous, so.

924
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 1: Don't start with your we're not famous. But I was shocked.

925
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: I really was. It was like, yeah, young the giant

926
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:29,920

00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 1: be awesome.

928
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 3: So we have young kids. We're very used to waking up.

929
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: You don't have young kids on the road.

930
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I do. In some ways, we're still things

931
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 3: to do.

932
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,360
