    Graham Isador, writing at CBC:


    “I’m very conscious about speaking in universal terms because I don’t know anything. I only know about what this stuff means to me. One of the things that has definitely exasperated that battle with depression is this idea, both internally and externally from other people, saying, ‘What are you so bummed about? Look around you. Things are good for you. Your band’s having success. You have a really incredible partner.’ All of these external factors point to something that should make a happy individual. That’s not really how mental health — for me — works. Having success with the band doesn’t mean I’m happy.”

    I highly recommend this interview if you’re a fan of the band. It really does add a lot of context to the lyrics on the upcoming album.

    Great little read about them. I'm so excited for them to have blown up, even if it means its next to impossible to get tickets to their shows anymore. It was interesting to hear what that success has meant to them, and how they approach songwriting in the face of the times.
