Single title? Shooting From The Bell Tower

What’s the song about? Being young and invincible and not giving a shit.

How long did it take to write/record? This one sat for ages without lyrics... then the whole album took a while to record so... probably took about a year.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? It’s from our super secretly titled album that’s coming out very soon. I drew a sick donkey for the cover but it got vetoed.

What was inspiring you during the song’s writing and recording? Disney movies.

We’ll like this song if we like... Imagine a baby panda right now. If you like that cute baby panda you’ll like this song.

Do you play it differently live? What you hear live will be pretty close to what’s on record, although Greg has been experimenting with some Tuvan throat singing which he might throw into the live mix.
