With second album ‘okay.’ as it is have laid the blueprint for an exciting future. vocalist patty Walters reflects on the biggest year of their lives, and reveals What exactly comes next.
‘OKAY.’ WAS RELEASED RIGHT AT THE START OF 2017. HOW HAS THE YEAR BEEN OVERALL?
“That’s the thing that’s so baffling to me – this record came out in January of this year and it already feels like it’s been out forever, like it’s just always existed. We recorded it and finished tracking just over a year ago now – we’re already deep into planning the next record and talking about the future of the band. It almost feels like we achieved and wrote a record we were so proud of, and instead of relishing how great it felt we were like, ‘We want to do that again!’ There were certain things that we got right, there were certain things that we got wrong, so now we want to take everything we’ve learned and make an even better record, and write an even greater chapter in the band. I think a lot of our heads are living in the near future.”
ARE THE NEW IDEAS BLOSSOMING ALREADY, THEN?
“A little bit! It’s mostly conversational for the time being, but we’ve always said that we never want to write the same record twice. Whatever that means for the lyrics and the music and anything else in the future, we’re always going to try something different; something that’s really representative of us as people at the time. We all have very eclectic music tastes – it’s not strictly pop-punk and it’s not even strictly alternative music – so I think it’s going to be relatively eclectic and relatively ambitious. We’ll kind of play around and see what happens.”
JUST HOW PROUD ARE YOU OF ‘OKAY.’ LOOKING BACK?
