Carney Went On To Describe The New Record’s Inspiration “We Went Through A Few Different Concepts But All The Lyrics We Settled On Seemed To Revolve Around An Apocalyptic Theme So The Album Became A Sort Of Amalgam Of Our Visions Of The End Of The World ” He Said. “We're Both Kind Of Fascinated With All Things Eschatological So It Was A Natural Theme To Explore For This Album Although It’s Not Terribly Dark. I Don't Think Either Of Us See The Apocalypse As A Particularly Dark Subject But Simply An Inevitability - It’s Interesting To Hypothesize The Form It Will Take When It Finally Happens And That’s What We Tried To Do With These Tracks.” read less
