I'm obsessed with your video and single for "i'm gonna tell my therapist on you." What inspired the song? Also the video was one of the first quarantine music videos I've seen, what was the process like making it?
Erich: “Hey one of our friends has an empty house we can record a music video in, so we’re gonna stand around the house and play our instruments ”, “Oh cool”
Ashrita: The song was honestly something we wrote because we wanted to write a song that was fun to play. The process of the video was pretty spontaneous and not planned at all. Making the video was really just a crap shoot and a very genuine look into our ability to organize and execute on the spot haha.
Myron: The day went like this. I drove to Baltimore with my kit and set up in our friend’s place. And from there it was just improvisation as we explored her house and came up with ideas for each room.
Paul: Everyone before me covered it! The video was super fun to make but a bit stressful at times, especially when the neighbor came thru all angry. We felt really bad and had to adjust on the spot lol
Your new "Direct-to-Vinyl Live Session" record pre-order is so cool and unique!! Tell us about it and how ya'll came up with that idea.
Ashrita: We actually saw an Instagram ad for Leesta Vall - they said you could apply to do a direct-to-vinyl session as a part of their ongoing project! Logistically, it was the easiest way for us to get physicals without paying tons of money up front or signing to a label, so we applied immediately. When they were down to have us, we had the idea to coordinate it with this single release! We kind of “got discovered” during the pandemic, so most of our listeners have never seen us live. It was a win-win idea to get people excited for our next single, play live, and give special thanks to our supporters during these insane times.
