Background

[edit | edit source]

Written and recorded during the COVID-19 lockdowns, the band collaborated virtually through the entirety of the album's creation process:[3]

Remote is a special project for us. We finished it all without seeing each other in person by sending each other voice memos and spending hours chatting on FaceTime. Though the lyrics don't reflect on or reference our time staying at home, the music wouldn't have turned out the way it did if not for quarantine.

Promotion
