What does music mean to you and why did you start making it?

"Music is painting with sound to me. I like all sorts of art and creative expression, but music is different. I like how it can’t be summarized, it has to be experienced."

​What is the music scene like in your home state of Oklahoma?

"The music scene is relatively diverse for the size of the city. Right now the hardcore punk scene is really making moves thanks to a diy venue called The Sanctuary. There are lots of good bands around, Mad Honey, From Drexel, Tokyo Swish, Curse The Knife, Money, Rolling Eyes, Gonzo LeBronzo and tons of others!"

Would you say where you grew up has an impact on your music style at all if so, how?

"I feel your your environment has to influence your art in some way. You will see artists around you, other bands playing in your scene, or even who tours through your area plays a big role in how you craft your sound."

​Everyone gets influenced by something, where did your main source of inspiration come from?

​"I’m generally influenced by any sort of beautiful wall of sound type of music. Bands like Boris and My Bloody Valentine really inspire the sort of sounds I like to make. When I feel like a sound is crushing, that’s when I know I like it haha."

​I am from UK, is there any musicians from UK that you like at all?

​"I love a lot of artists from the UK! I’m really partial to the jazz and jazz fusion sound coming out of the UK right now and I love Drum and Bass. A short list of favourites would be King Krule, Mansur Brown, Tom Misch, and Burial"

How do you approach making songs, is there a constant theme or message you want to express first or does it come to you during recording?

"For me, I usually just write musical ideas off of a feeling, emotion, or an image in my mind. Trying to gather what that would sound like. For example, my demo folder is just a bunch of single word audio files. We generally gather a theme from the songs that come out of that process, but I wouldn’t say it rigidly defined beforehand. We do know what we want the project to sound like before we start writing so maybe not a theme, but stylistic constraints rather."

​Do you plan to challenge your song writing, is there a style of writing you want to go into or are the ideas you want to try?

​"In some way you always have to challenge your song writing to get better at it. I'm not sure how exactly, we will probably experiment the genre to explore our sound"

Are there any other genres of music you would like to experiment with in the future?

​"We have been working with the idea of going more electronic. I’m not sure how far of a genre leap it would be, but it would definitely change the sound."

​If you could, could you please share one of your favourite songs you made and why it is?

​"Goodnight, it’s one of those songs that came together easily like it just wrote itself. When that sort of thing happens I feel like it’s destiny or something haha."

​What would you like to see more of in the industry?

​"For the industry as a whole, I would like to see the digital landscape move to favor artists more. This includes fair payouts from streaming and a push for the listeners support the artists they care about. There are platforms like Bandcamp that push for this sort of model, but it’s still not wide spread to support artists through those sorts of platforms. The internet has been great for letting people get their music out to all sorts of people across the globe. I would like it to stay that way and get better for artists along the way."

​What advice would you give to other creatives?

"Start creating, even if you don’t feel ready. Always finish your ideas, even if they don’t feel done."

​Is there anything new coming up that you would like to promote?

"Keep an eye out for new music from us in the future! Thank you for the interview."
