I think it really helped us and we liked doing it. Q: Do you think you would take that whole cabin-route again for the next album? I’ve been doing some soul-searching myself, so I think that had a lot to do with the lyrics and stuff. Also, a lot of it is like, I’ve been in relationships for a lot of my life and in this time period I haven’t been. It’s kind of just all of us growing up as musicians and as song-writers and stuff, just trying to make the best album we could. J: Not necessarily anything in particular. Can you more into detail about what kind of growth-does it come from the Christian household thing or a certain experience? You guys credit the different sound for this one to personal growth and that you recorded it for two weeks in a cabin together.
BALANCE AND COMPOSURE ALBUM FULL
It’s two years between the two full length albums. It’s just hard to cope with that, I feel like a lot of people can relate to that. J: Yeah and the guilt you feel just trying to be a normal person.
Q: I think that’s a big thing for a lot of people that grow up in that kind of environment Q: So did you veer away from the whole Christian household thing? Is that a big thing for you? It’s inspiration coming from real life and learning and growing as a person and finding things out for yourself. It’s also falling out of the beliefs that I grew up with in a Christian household. I mean, it’s a lot of personal experiences. Is it personal experiences, personal beliefs, or anything like that? Q: Besides other bands or other music or whatever it is, what are some of the biggest influences behind your music? It’s clearly very powered by emotion, both the lyrics and the sound. And that line was just standing out to me a lot.
It’s a pretty desperate record I feel, for me. J: I realized it afterwards that that was the perfect line that kind of summed up the whole record. So obviously that song is really personal and means a lot, but why did you pull the album title from that song particularly. You’ve talked about how personal it is for you and that you felt you had to be honest with yourself about falling in love and ruining it-type thing. Q: Well, my next question is about Tiny Raindrop. J: Tiny Raindrop is fun to sing and Dirty Head was cool, we did it live by just playing and singing, and that was cool. Q: Which song did you enjoy recording the most off this album? But it’s always cool being compared to your favorite bands. For this record, it isn’t what we were going for we were trying to be original-sounding. J: I think it’s cool, it’s definitely cool. I was just wondering how you feel about that because you’ve said bands like Sunny Day Real Estate have influenced you, but what do you think about being actually compared to that? Q: I was watching an album review of The Things We Think We’re Missing and the guy was saying that you guys sound like you’re straight out of the 90s but have your own creative style and that’s why he’s really into you guys and into this record. Check out my interview before and definitely buy their album, it’s an incredible listen.
Their most recent full length album, The Things We Think We’re Missing, has gained a lot of attention, even reaching No. I got the chance to talk to Jon Simmons of Balance and Composure, a post-hardcore band from Pennsylvania.
