i’m a kind of wondering, how did you get that name?
It’s an inside joke
tell me more about “motionland”, it is such a beautiful song.
On composing Motionland, I first created the bassline,then layered guitars around it, to build the feel. That’s how I typically compose, start with a riff, either bass or guitar, and layer and build around it.

Tell us more about your upcoming album
We’re still in the recording stages, we’ve done a couple of scratch tracks for a few songs, but I think we’re at the point where the scructure is all there, and we just have to lay them all down. The main difference between Fathom and our next release is composition, I wrote all of the music for Fathom, and for our next release, I only wrote A Love song Part II.
any good underated bands you found recently found that you think they should get more attention?
