“We’re still experimenting with ways to push the boundaries in music. We want our music to be something refreshing, different but beautiful. And we’ve continued to hone in on what we want our sound to be. This record deals a lot with the things we’ve experienced as young adults and we how we reconcile with them.” - Iris Temple.
