Funny you ask, the title of our EP is actually a
lyric from the track “So Longest Goodbye”.

So Long Goodbye is probably our most emotional
song and it’s very meaningful to the band. It’s the
last song we wrote for the EP. When we wrote the
instrumental we knew this song had to make a
big impact lyrically. The title is metaphorical and literal. Literally it
represents the long drive we had from MN to NY
to record the EP and metaphorically it represents
the long drive to success.

A couple of us had relationships that weren’t good
for us, almost toxic in a sense. The main meaning
in the song is about leaving old habits and people
you may love, to follow your dreams. We wanted
to capture the emotion of just how hard it is
having to leave someone you still care about
behind. When something is holding you back it’s
easy to overlook all the miracles this world can
offer.

The writing process for this EP happened over
about a year. We wrote around 1 5 songs, refined
them and played them live, and switched them up
until we landed on the 5 that we recorded. Initially
we record the demos ourselves in our studio at
home. This is probably the most crucial part of
our writing process because it allows us to hear
and critique ourselves before we get into the
studio. We traveled to NY and recorded at Nada
Recording Studio with our boy John Naclerio. He
was so professional and fun, we know that he
had a very positive influence on this record. We
cannot wait to record our full length with him.
