Lilly: This album really feels like a time capsule to me on some days, and on other days, it feels like we could’ve written these songs yesterday. Even though the album has obvious ties to our lives in New York City, the concepts of financial struggle, basic survival, and companionship are constantly relevant. Songs like Numbers, Patterns, Bot Pop, and Day To Day, all have a feeling of societal frustration and hardship, especially in today’s climate of being an artist. The Bedroom, My Bike, and Keepin’ It Together find the reverse side of the coin with feelings of finding comfort in others and self. There is a constant topic of escapism as well. Almost like living in a state of constant daydreaming. Every song feels deeply personal to us, but are all open to interpretation by the listener, based on their own struggles and longing. Performing these songs has been therapeutic for me in trying to process all of the joys and woes of life, and I hope our listeners feel the same sensation.

Will: We had limited time to write in our studio in Bushwick. That being said, a majority of these songs were written after long days of work, and even longer subway rides.
I think this feeling is reflected in the music. I feel that at its core, all of these tunes are love songs. They may possess something darker to tackle, but always find themselves returning to love or belonging. The struggles that we have as human beings, be that depression, addiction, loneliness, or feeling like we don’t understand the world or society, can be dealt with through art. For us, our outlet is writing music. The song, "Shuffle When You Walk”, is a great example of our struggle with this. I remember coming home late and exhausted one evening. Lilly had written Shuffle and played it for me in its entirety. I cried. It gave me something I really needed at that moment, and it was incredible to share an experience like that with the person who understands me the most. When I wrote the lyrics for the song, "Day to Day”, I again felt sad, maybe desperate for a way out, but it’s returning to the thought that Lilly will be there for me, despite a terrible week/month/year. The Whistle Song feels a bit more tongue and cheek, applying a showtune-esque songwriting style that is both sentimental and sulky about our feelings for New York. I really feel that this album is our love letter to the human race.
