With the current pandemic, the state of the music and touring industry has dramatically changed. Where were you when everything was brought to a halt?
We were actually on tour when everything shutdown. We were headed to our second show of tour. We drove 4 hours, played that show, canceled the rest of the tour and drove back home.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
We had a pretty rad tour set up headed from Salt Lake to Southern California, SXSW in Texas and back up to Boise for Treefort Music Fest. That was all canceled or postponed. We had a shift in plans for releasing new music which actually worked more in our favor. It was a rough time but has been nice to slow down.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home? How are you supporting your mental health through all of this?
We have been working hard at our next album. We have been recording and mixing in our bedroom studios. I have been really diving more into the synth world. I bought a couple different ones over the course of the lockdown and it has been a big game changer in the writing process.
How are dealing with the Covid second wave?
Not well :( I mean I am just itching to play a live show again. Just itching to go to a show, go see a movie, hang out at a party and to travel. But staying safe and staying home isn't too bad. Still learning to enjoy my time when I am alone.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Stay safe and know that it is ok to slow down, sit down and take it easy.
