Acknowledging the long period of time between records and new material, lead singer Israel Nebeker explains during the interview with Nic Harcourt “The first track on the album is kind of like, a sweet thank you apology song to Ryan for waiting so long for me to write.” referring to “Jacaranda”. Nebeker expanded on the process of writing the album, “it was just this output of a month of writing, and I wasn't questioning much. I was just like in acceptance mode, whatever it was coming through, and it wasn't until we mastered it and I was listening back that it really emotionally hit me what the album was about… there are some common threads and themes, things i was going to through at the time, a lot to do with ancestral lines and the stories that we continue on…. there’s a thread of returning, trying to return to friendship, to connection.”

 

Blind Pilot performed 3 songs; “Just A Bird”, “Brave”, “Don't You Know
