So, yeah, moving in that direction, what are some experiences that you guys think led this album to be what it is?
Matt StoberGUEST
I don't really quite remember exactly when the the kind of archetype of the lighthouse keeper kind of came to my mind.
Matt StoberGUEST
But, uh, in 2021, I went to fire Island lighthouse and that, and I took a picture, which ended up being the album cover.
Matt StoberGUEST
So we, that, that picture has been around kind of waiting to be the album cover for like about five years or so.
Matt StoberGUEST
And, um, Yeah, I think around that time I was definitely identifying with like that kind of archetype of like isolation.
Matt StoberGUEST
And I'm just also obsessed with like water imagery and kind of how that can kind of be expressed through sound.
