Frontman Simon Neil said: " "In the same part of the world as I wrote my very first song is where we're making this record, and there's something really pure about that."
Drummer Ben Johnston commented: "We don't need all the bells and whistles for us to be fulfilled and happy, we just need the three of us to be making music together and have that vibe in a room - and that's what keeps our hearts beating."
Bassist James Johnston added: "Everyone should join a band... if you get a chance to go join a band with your brothers or your sisters, or people you consider to be a brother or a sister, that's probably the best years you'll ever have in your life."

The Myth of the Happily Ever After was released on 23rd October and included the tracks A Hunger in Your Haunt and Unknown Male 01.
Following 2020's A Celebration of Endings, the album was described as an answer to its predecessor, as Simon Neil explained: "This album is a real journey, a collision of every thought and emotion we’ve had over the past eighteen months".
"There was a real fortitude in ‘A Celebration’ but in this record we’re embracing the vulnerabilities of being a band and being a human in this twisted era of our lives.
"Even the title is the polar opposite. It’s asking, do we create these narratives in our own minds to give us some security when none of us know what’s waiting for us at the end of the day?"
