Speaking about the eleven track album and its reflective and redemptive tone, lead vocalist Josh Franceschi explained, “We have been in the pursuit of happiness for quite some time, both collectively and individually, only to discover that happiness is more than just a state of mind. We had to face our pain head on and carve it into something positive. Our seventh studio album is the result of us finding peace and acceptance of what’s been and gone.”

The album was recorder in Thailand over a period of five weeks as the band hit the studio with dozens of songs, loops and ideas ready to push the experimentation of their 2018 album VI.
