Anyway, we're really excited to 14 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.359 get this song out. It's actually a song that we 15 00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:52.560 started a few years ago and it hadn't promised, but 16 00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:54.520 it didn't kind of cash out the way I wanted, 17 00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:56.479 so I just kind of left it and like we 18 00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.759 pulled it up maybe like last fall, and I go, hey, 19 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.840 you know, I think, let me just kind of rework 20 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.239 the song, kind of start from scratch, but keep the 21 00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:09.519 basic structure of it, the basic elements. And yeah, and 22 00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:11.400 this is what we got now and this is yeah, 23 00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:13.159 this is the one. This is what I wish I 24 00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:14.680 could have figured out how to make a couple of 25 00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.079 years ago. But I guess I've gotten a little more 26 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:18.079 wiser and a. 27 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.439 Little more sure. We've been working on that long. 28 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:22.640 Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like a couple of years ago. 29 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:24.959 Way, yeah, yeah, I can go back and pull out 30 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.560 the date for you later on. Well, I actually want 31 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:29.359 to know, So, okay, I'm gonna go look right now, 32 00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:31.359 kind of receipts. 33 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.680 So I just unlooked on my computer drive and I 34 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:37.439 see some old saves of it from the old version 35 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.000 from twenty twenty three, and you know, I started the song. 36 00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.599 We started the song before that, even so, just like 37 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:43.959 we've been working on it for a while. 38 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:48.640 Wow, time must be freaking flying. How Yeah, the song's 39 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:50.040 been in the work since twenty twelve. 40 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:51.719 Well, we made a bunch of other songs since then, 41 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:53.599 like moving On and Be the Same and so on 42 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:54.239 and so forth. 43 00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:57.079 Okay, so this was part of that song cycle, the Newmanon. 44 00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:59.359 It was kind of the start of that. But I 45 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.480 think we really found our sound after I told you. 46 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.599 After that we did that the Saint Love Remix for 47 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.000 All Electronico. Then we got newman on everything going, and 48 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.680 once we got the flow and moment of the of 49 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.599 the production styles of that, I was able to, I 50 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:17.120 think give Boss Mode like the proper treatment. 51 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:19.719 Wait are you saying Boss Moone got started even before 52 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:21.479 the remix of an Electronica? Yeah? 53 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:23.800 I think so. Yeah, I'm pretty sure, pretty sure. 54 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:27.080 Okay, the only receipt that I had that, the only 55 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.919 thing that I could really was, like, we did like 56 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.639 the second pass of my new vocals on my birthday 57 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:34.840 in February, because I know I played a little clip 58 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.319 of that either the last episode or the episode before we. 59 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.199 Had vocals back in November or twenty twenty were gone 60 00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:42.680 now completely. 61 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:44.439 I know you're saying that it was in fall that 62 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.599 we started this, you started the new music, I guess. 63 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.639 Something like that somewhere thereabouts. Yeah, like a year later 64 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:51.520 almost or something. 65 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.120 Yeah, I mean we did get most of the way 66 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.759 through the vocals on that initial version, and I was like, 67 00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:58.960 it was I think the key was higher because it 68 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:00.680 was like really difficult to sing, and. 69 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:02.240 I remember, oh, yeah, I think we did change that. 70 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.400 Yeah. I'm actually really glad that we really chilled it out. 71 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.960 Yeah, we chilled it out a lot. Yeah, we learned, 72 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.159 we get better like we try. We're actually still even 73 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:12.759 though we're old, we're still trying to improve our craft. 74 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:14.759 Yeah, definitely. 75 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.840 I think the most distinct feature of this song compared 76 00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.120 to our past view is this one's a little happier 77 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.280 as far as both the keys of the song, you know, 78 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:27.840 the chorus and and the like the bpm. Just for us, 79 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:29.639 it's happier. For any other band would be like their 80 00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:31.159 saddest song of all kinds. 81 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.479 I don't know, but we can't really say how sad 82 00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:34.560 other people's music is. 83 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:38.360 But for us, Yeah, yeah, sorry for you. You have your 84 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:41.240 first time doing what's no one in the industry is 85 00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:43.479 melodic rapping just a little man. 86 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.639 Well, you know, I kind of had a brief for 87 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.439 into the idea of a melodic crap, like I would 88 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.879 say on that Antibe on the Antib's solo. Yeah, yeah, 89 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:55.319 there's that house song. 90 00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:57.639 It wasn't that melodic, You're more talking. 91 00:03:57.680 --> 00:03:59.280 It was kind of I was a little bit more 92 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:03.199 like a spoken word divided by the seasons. It's more 93 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.159 spoken words, it's the reasons and whatever. 94 00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:08.479 So I've never rapped before. This is the first time 95 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.680 doing melodic rapping, which I have to admit I've fallen 96 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:13.919 in love with on that style of rapping from a 97 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:15.919 lot of the K pop we've been listening to over 98 00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:16.519 the years. 99 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.600 Oh well, especially recently, we moved really into this band 100 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:23.360 called x G and they're they're pretty rap focused, but 101 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.800 also with these really great like soulful and ethereal vocals. 102 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.759 Like so not that when I'm doing sounds anything like 103 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.360 x G, but we were kind of thinking about we 104 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:35.480 were kind of thinking about moss AX when we're putting 105 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:36.240 the song together. 106 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:38.199 Yeah, this sounds. 107 00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:39.720 Sounds so silly, but I was kind of thinking about 108 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.040 XO on the first version. Yeah, then I was kind 109 00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:44.879 of thinking more about moss X on the second one. 110 00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.839 And so hung one is like he's kind of like 111 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.360 what like a lead vocalist, which is like a vocalist 112 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:51.759 that kind of comes in at the beginning of a 113 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.639 song and like we'll maybe lead into a chorus or something. 114 00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.160 He's my favorite singer, and he's got. 115 00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:01.519 A really breathy, ethereal sound that kind of a light touch. 116 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.560 It doesn't he belt it out or anything, just soft 117 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.399 just it's just it's so sexy. I say that as 118 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.120 a man yeah. 119 00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:11.839 So it's like, how can I bring some of that 120 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:14.079 hyung Wan vibe into my vocals? 121 00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:14.839 You know this? 122 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:16.600 Okay, there is one thing. 123 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.160 I want to tell that I can't imagine. 124 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.480 Okay. So so we had the song and then we're like, oh, 125 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.360 what are we going to do? And like the breakdown? Yeah, Weirdly, 126 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:26.519 we were like driving down the freeway and I was like, 127 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:28.639 what if we did some sort of like a wrap 128 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:30.160 in the in the breakdown? 129 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:30.519 I don't know what. 130 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.079 Yeah. So I actually I was writing the lyrics into 131 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:36.680 my phone right there, like as we're driving down there. 132 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:44.399 I'm driving, Yeah, he's driving. I'm just passenger, and you know, 133 00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:45.839 so it's just like a little short thing. And I 134 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.040 was like, what if you tried to do the rap? 135 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:49.959 Oh yeah, yeah, I remember that. 136 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.160 Yeah, actually, yeah, I give it a shot. I kind 137 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.519 of came up with some of the rhythm which kind 138 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:56.439 of a little bit remained in what you did, not 139 00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.040 saying I wrote it or anything, but some of the 140 00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:00.439 rhythm still elements still exist in there. But I just 141 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.160 didn't like my tone that much and you made it 142 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.519 better was going to be my mine didn't fit the part, 143 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:07.959 Like I couldn't go fast enough to get all the 144 00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:09.800 lines to fit in that bit. But you nailed it, 145 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.040 and then your tone sounds way better than mine. I 146 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:13.959 just wonder I've never done it before. I wanted you 147 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:16.439 sound like Travis Scott or something. 148 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:18.319 I don't want to some effects on. 149 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:20.519 Yah, well I sound like I am for Monster Eggs. 150 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:21.720 I don't know, it's just. 151 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:23.519 Checking out recording. 152 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:24.759 It's get really. 153 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:27.920 I tried to sneak a little bit of into the mix, 154 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:29.519 but I think you took it back out again, but 155 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.720 I probably do. Yeah. So I was like, I was like, oh, 156 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:33.560 I was like, oh, why don't you try it like this? 157 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:35.759 So I was like I was kind of like showing 158 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.920 how do you do it? You're already doing. 159 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:40.800 It, so yeah, and you're the vocalist. Sounds good. I 160 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.360 just wanted to see what I would sound like. But 161 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:44.079 I didn't like my tone. You know, maybe it's just 162 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.079 I'm not used to singing and rapping and stuff like that. 163 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.040 You know, maybe I could improve that, but yeah, you 164 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:50.959 already got it down. You sounded great. Yeah. 165 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.040 Yeah, So I kind of wrote it like thinking, and 166 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:54.879 I was kind of thinking of like a guy doing 167 00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.319 the round. So that's me. I mean, that's not why 168 00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:59.839 I wrote about video game stuff, cause I actually really 169 00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:01.000 like playing video games. 170 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.079 But so we went for some of the once the 171 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.120 wraps down in production, we went to some of the 172 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.759 like the classic effects you hear on melodic rap, like 173 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:12.160 more hard tuning and some format shifting here and there 174 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.360 to give it that polish and be sounding great with 175 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:15.839 that too. 176 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:18.319 I think you had a little more hardcore at one point, 177 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:20.040 but I was like, oh, it's kind of taken away 178 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:21.800 from some of the performances back, but I. 179 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.040 Found a nice sweet spot. I kind of guess it. 180 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:25.720 Doesn't stick out in the songs. I can hear it, 181 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:29.600 but it's not like crazy yeah yeah, oh that reminds me. 182 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:31.839 I forgot that. We've got some comments that we'll share 183 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:33.879 with you guys later. All right, I'm just going to 184 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.839 share the comments with you now.

Yeah, I love that, And Dispenser said, 193 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.600 new album when awesome. 194 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:11.319 We'll get it. We'll compile an album together and put 195 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.319 a few new songs on it. But yeah, we're getting there. 196 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.279 Yeah, And that was actually echoed by a guy named 197 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:17.160 Ron on YouTube. 198 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:20.439 He also the album yeah just quickly. Yeah, we don't 199 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.439 put out albums like we used to because I don't 200 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.439 like waiting three four plus years in between coming out 201 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.560 and seeing you guys. You know, it seems like we've disappeared. 202 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.480 The whole world changes in that amount of times, so 203 00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.320 new cycles and people's attentions. Man, we got to get 204 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.679 music out regularly, and I think it's you good. 205 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.080 Have to feed the algorithm. 206 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:39.440 I think that's good for us not to get lazy. 207 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:40.919 I think it keeps us on us too, and keeps 208 00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:42.600 us working on music a lot. So yeah, we're trying 209 00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:44.960 to do roughly one song a month. We kind of 210 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:46.679 hit it pretty close. 211 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.600 I wanted to do one song and one one podcast 212 00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:52.240 per month, but here we are. We missed the podcast 213 00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:54.039 last month, but at least we had a brand new song. 214 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:57.320 But back to the album. Yeah, we think we'll get 215 00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.440 to a certain point. We'll put all these songs that 216 00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:01.440 haven't seen and been on an album yet, put them 217 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:03.360 all together and released a couple of new songs and 218 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.559 put out an album. So that's where we're at with that. 219 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.279 Okay, So oh, speaking of YouTube, so we also I 220 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.159 think this was a third time in a row that 221 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:15.600 we did a visualizer lyric video for the song. This 222 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.559 time I used a different effect, so it's kind of 223 00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:20.480 a cool graph again. And I went and I used 224 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:23.000 a lot of different fonts and whatnot. So that's up 225 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:23.679 on YouTube. 226 00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:27.159 Effect over my album cover photo once again. 227 00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.120 Yeah, let's talk about it. Let's talk about your album cover. 228 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.879 A lot of the album covers of our past year 229 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:36.759 or two have been from weird stuff I've done. Big 230 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:39.240 exception was not myself, right, that was one of your 231 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.240 photos right, let me see now myself. 232 00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.039 Yeah, it was some flowers that I had taken. And 233 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.480 then the call VIP mix. We reused the same yamage 234 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:51.200 from Susan Jennings from the original original. 235 00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:53.519 But other than that, yeah, they've all been these weird, 236 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:57.759 like blurry, smeary color photographs I like doing for a 237 00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:00.480 while and often, yeah, you'll do some touch or production 238 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:02.200 post production, Yeah, which I did. 239 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:04.000 I did a little post production work and I had 240 00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:06.639 to you know, figure out which which part of the 241 00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:08.519 picture looked best in a square and then get a 242 00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:13.000 little font on there. But yeah, once again, Ryan's our photographer. 243 00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:15.399 On I'll share the exact location, but in case you 244 00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:16.799 might be one and what the hell is going on 245 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:21.399 with that cover? There's this really just colorful, trippy looking 246 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.039 parking lot. Sometimes it's not as cool looking now they 247 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:29.120 put more bright white overhead lights. It's kind of down 248 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:31.919 all the colors. You know, it's less colorful now. But 249 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:34.039 I got it like last year and it's so it's 250 00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:35.919 a it's a trippy, weird parking lot. 251 00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:39.320 I posted a lot of indoor selfies and photos of 252 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:40.919 the two of us in that parking lot when it 253 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:42.879 had when it was like had so much blue light. 254 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:44.600 I think a lot of people it's kind of like 255 00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:46.679 there's like a roundabout type of thing, and I think 256 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:48.840 a lot of bring their sports cars in there and 257 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:49.440 take photos. 258 00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:51.519 Yeah, I think so too. I think that's the purpose, 259 00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:54.519 not for weird dream gazer or dream gazer. That's what 260 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:55.240 we happen to me. 261 00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.360 It is a parking lot for the I don't say where. 262 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.679 Well, a club okay, yeah, there is a nightclub there 263 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:03.960 amongst other things. 264 00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:06.120 Yeah, so we've seen bands there. 265 00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.480 Yeah, we'd like to keep our privacy a little bit, 266 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:09.039 that's why. 267 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:11.759 A little time. But we did go through that parking 268 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:14.720 garage with our friends the other day and then we're like, oh, 269 00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:15.600 oh is this familiar? 270 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.080 This I'll cover okay, just to decide about that. Yeah, totally. 271 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:21.320 So yeah, you still got more. 272 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:22.879 Oh, there's a couple of comments on the. 273 00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:24.120 Sorry to derail that, guys. 274 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:27.159 Yeah, we're just we're just yeap and. 275 00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:28.159 Yeah, that's what we do here. 276 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:31.960 Let's see.

So many 278 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.039 of the genres that have mattered to me over the years, 279 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.720 like proud rock, nineties electronica, and post rock, started with 280 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.720 trailblazers and then continued with artists content to walk the 281 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:48.200 trails instead of being inspired to keep making trails, You've 282 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:51.159 continued to explore where your sounds in interest. Sleep Love 283 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:54.600 Sparals has more creative vitality at age twenty five than 284 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:56.440 most people do at age twenty five. 285 00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:59.120 The band's twenty five not but yeah, we're fifty seven. 286 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:00.559 Yeah, that's for sure. 287 00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.519 Oh cool, thanks Bren. Yeah, it's really thoughtful, Bran, I 288 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:06.919 appreciate that. Yeah, I mean it's just how I'm wired 289 00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:09.639 and ANGI too. You know, we're like, you know, like 290 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.679 we're always looking for inspiration. You know, some of them 291 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:15.200 comes from the past, like our own music and music 292 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:19.399 from others, and then we're still like finding fortunately, thank Heavens, 293 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:23.440 like inspiration for modern music. And it's given me new ideas, 294 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:26.480 not to like hop genres or anything that said, but 295 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:29.679 how to incorporate like well I never thought to process 296 00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.519 a vocal like that or compose of something like that, 297 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:35.879 so or how to arrange chords like that or anyway. 298 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.840 So it's taken ideas from others genres bring it to ours, 299 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.639 and I say, the secret sauce for us, no surprise, 300 00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:44.279 has been listening to a lot of Koreat music, k 301 00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:47.080 Indi and k pop, not just anything, you know, but 302 00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:49.679 you know we're finding like certain bands, certain songs just 303 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:50.960 are just amazing. 304 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.200 Absolutely. You know. It's funny. I was looking at some 305 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.639 old fancies and I found an interview that I had 306 00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:01.440 done back in ninety four, before we were even making music. 307 00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:03.879 Together with my old band. In the interview, I said 308 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:06.679 something that I still stand by one hundred percent today, 309 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:09.639 So I said, we aren't a part of anyone underground movement. 310 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.679 We flip from circle to circle, participating in whatever seems interesting. 311 00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:16.720 We like many styles of music, and our music reflects 312 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:19.159 all of their influences. So we couldn't fit into a 313 00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:20.440 tidy niche. 314 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.840 Yeah, just like what we like and yeah, but we 315 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:25.279 still have our core sound. We just bring other elements 316 00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:27.360 in our course. Like right before we started filming this, 317 00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:30.600 I was listening to a band I've just been going 318 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:33.440 nuts over this year in mix a song Know about Me. 319 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:36.159 You know I both love it. We heard all time, 320 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:38.679 tons of time the car stir out in the living 321 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:40.480 room Star. I don't think I really pulled it up 322 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:44.000 on the studio before. I'm going holy crap. There's just 323 00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:46.200 so much cool stuff going on with the vocals there. 324 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:51.840 I would give a finger to be able to like process. 325 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:54.200 I would to be able to process vocals like what's 326 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:54.919 going on there? 327 00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:55.159 You know? 328 00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:59.759 Yeah, But I'll never be that good, I understand it. 329 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:01.960 I'm honest about myself. But I can learn and try 330 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.440 to do some stuff with your vocals. That's kind of 331 00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:06.759 like that. I'll never make it sound like what's going 332 00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:09.440 on there. Yeah, but they'll never sound like us, or 333 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:11.440 they'll never get all those dream pop things going on 334 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.639 either unless we collaborate. Listening in Max, let's work together. 335 00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:15.840 It just drop us an email. 336 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:19.399 Wow. Yeah, okay, speaking of which, going back to the 337 00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:23.519 sound of Boss Mode, Yeah, the guitar is so pretty 338 00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:24.679 and dream pop on that song. 339 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:25.879 Well that's me even though. 340 00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:28.360 Really there's nothing else. I wouldn't say there's anything else 341 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.879 about the song that really seems like dream but well 342 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:36.000 maybe a little bit of the fuck. But uh, I 343 00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:39.879 don't know what genre it would fit in. Yeah, I 344 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:40.799 have so much trouble. 345 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:44.600 Quantum comment down below if you have an obvious. 346 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:47.440 Genre, because I need help because I'm like, I guess 347 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:50.159 we're indie pop, Like that's the closest thing that I 348 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:51.000 can come up with. 349 00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:54.279 But then we're very electronic too, with all the electronic drums, and. 350 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.120 Yeah, indie pop can't includes electronic. It's like it can 351 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.080 be electronica rock blah blah blah. Really, you know, the 352 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.639 names of the genres changed so rapidly, Like yeah, looking 353 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:05.960 at you know this fanzine from ninety four. Like we 354 00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:09.639 used to say that alternative music was like music that 355 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:12.559 you wouldn't hear on the radio, and then alternative became 356 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:14.120 a style of music radio. 357 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:15.559 Yeah. 358 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:20.039 Yeah, I used to be called college college. Yeah, and 359 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:22.960 anyone says anymore, like Pearl. 360 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:25.720 Jam considered alternative rock made, I'm not sure. I know 361 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:27.960 they are gruns, but oh yeah, I don't know. It's 362 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:28.639 all confusing. 363 00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:30.799 It's all very confusing. But the thing is that when 364 00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:33.559 you distribute your music and the okay, so that's the thing. 365 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.759 I was like, this, this song is a little bit 366 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.360 too far outside of our like the dream pop shoegaze 367 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:40.799 connections that I've kind of made. 368 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.480 So you didn't bother contacting that I didn't. 369 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:47.360 I didn't service anybody. Plus life was crazy, you know, 370 00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:50.519 and it was like it was a major holiday the 371 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:51.320 weekend on our song. 372 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:53.720 Yeah. Now, even though you didn't contact the dream pop 373 00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:55.240 people and you say they started playing. 374 00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:58.679 It, Yeah, I was alight.

I think they 378 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:12.960 call it playlist, but it's really just like you can 379 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:14.960 click all the links through the band camp and check 380 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:17.159 it out with like a little description of who we are. 381 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.519 They even included neo soul the description of us, because yeah, 382 00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:22.039 that's you know, this song has got a little bit 383 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:23.200 of neo So yeah, I don't know if you. 384 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:25.240 Put that in the verbiage, but I always thought, yeah, 385 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:29.919 boss Mode, Yes, it's our our take, one of our 386 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:32.320 We've done it a few times, our current take on 387 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:35.080 a neo soul type of sound. Yeah. 388 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:37.679 Yeah, Like for me, this song, it kind of is 389 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.159 in the lineage of like the Life goes On, like 390 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.559 the you know, the title track, Yeah, and which that 391 00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:46.799 one's song to me sounds a little more Jamison and 392 00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:50.240 then a little bit like what's the lot of smile? 393 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:51.200 Why not today? 394 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:51.840 Why not today? 395 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:54.080 Yeah, it's that kind of soul for us. 396 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:57.919 That's we have a brand new song that'll be the 397 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:00.720 next one. We haven't got your folks on it because 398 00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.960 life's been really weird, But as far as it stands instrumentally, 399 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:07.000 it's still I think it too is kind of leaning 400 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:09.079 more towards the neo Sultan. Can't wait to see what 401 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:10.680
