“Ultimately, we all want the same outcome, which is to make a cohesive collection of songs that we feel proud of. As we’ve been working on new material, we’ve been trying to push collaboration further than ‘Saw You Out with the Weeds.’” – Chris Corsi “My songwriting philosophy is something that I would say is quite malleable, I don’t approach most of our songs with a clear mission or objective outside of expressing something in the moment. When spontaneity doesn’t lend itself to a finished product that we love, we listen to a song and tweak it until it becomes something we would want to listen to.” – Emma Shepard “I feel like bands from Cleveland and Northeast Ohio historically have always operated outside a lot of the trends that are happening in other places. It’s pretty hard to be pretentious when you’re from Cleveland.” – Stephen Ovak “Often when we’re adding some kind of ornament to a song, we try to exercise some restraint and keep the initial spirit intact. With “Factory,” our aim was to layer a little more texture and dreaminess to make certain sections unique or hit harder.” – John Corsi
