QUOTES
Kip to Indie Cindy, WMBR, 2014: "For the most part, it’s just me singing, but for the new record, it was cool because Jen Goma from A Sunny Day in Glasgow recorded with us and she’s such a good singer. So she really brought songs like ‘Kelly’, ‘Life After Life’ to life. And there’s another one we just put out on the EP called ‘Poison Touch’ that she sang as well. And she’s super talented, but she wasn’t able to tour and make a big commitment, but she was able to come by and work on the music. I feel like had I been ‘Only people officially in the band can be on the record’, it wouldn’t have turned out as good. "
"My friend Kelly played horn on the record too. Songs like ‘The Asp at My Chest’, ‘Life After Life’, ‘Kelly, ‘Simple and Sure’, have horn parts that add a little to them. Even though it’s subtle, it makes the record sound a little fuller and more diverse."
