QUOTE ON THE “BRAND NEW TEETH” FROM SAMARA:
“You could say Brand New Teeth is about pressure. Delusional pressure. Of the world, society, the way things are vs the way we may like them to be. I started writing this after hearing a lot of “just enjoy the process” type responses to me venting about struggling. Like how? I need things now. I need food now; I have bills now; I have dreams now. How do I let it go when the stakes feel high? Then Smi came in and just murked the entire record with incredible storytelling that really sealed the song and topic”

QUOTE ON THE “BAD BRAIN” FROM SAMARA:
“’Bad Brain–something I tell my brain when it’s doing that anxiety thing again. Another song about pretending. About the politicking on things that don’t matter in the grand scheme. About the constant argument between the angel and devil on everyone’s shoulder. It’s just another distraction. Literally, just say ‘Bad Brain’ and then move on.”

QUOTE ON THE “CHROME” FROM SAMARA:
“‘’I’m contemplating the extent to which I play the game.’ I wrote this song after a somewhat heated discussion about the reality of making art at a high level in today’s culture. The balance (or maybe battle) between true authenticity and being able to translate to a large amount of people. How much are you willing to give to be a part of it all? Or to convince people that you’re worth looking at or hearing. Or do you even have to? This song is about giving away the last of you in a desire to so badly be a part of something and then getting there to realize it never even existed in the way you thought. Sometimes we’re the ones that make up this idea of what we should be and then blame it on externals.”
