Liner notes

A decade in, we finally wrote the record where the sweet songs get to stand in the front row. Umbrellas, mixtapes, hoodies and borrowed bikes: all the small things we fell for. We still tracked it fast and shouted everything, but the last choruses are bigger and the secrets are harder to hide. Our drummer cried at the playback and blamed the monitors.
