“I’ve been attempting to work with Kevin for some time now,” frontman/guitarist Dylan Slocum says. “Now we have a very good variety of mutual pals however had by no means met up till this. The reasoning was easy — our band doesn’t exist with out Kevin Devine. He took what I had demoed as an indignant, contrarian second verse and turned it into one thing delicate and stuffed with pathos. It completely floored me the primary time I heard his vocal tracks dropped in.”
Tigers Jaw options on the EP’s second monitor, “Berlin,” which is a darkish, subdued romantic story that weaves the story of a relationship shadowed by a associate’s mysterious previous — one which continues to resurface and hang-out you each.

At first, we thought solely Ben [Walsh] was monitoring, however after we acquired the monitor again and heard Brianna [Collins] doing the harmonies, we completely misplaced our thoughts. It’s the Tigers Jaw factor we love on an SLS tune. That feeling is likely one of the core causes we even toyed with the concept of getting options, and in that second, made your entire experiment value it.”
