“These are by far the most personal and honest songs we've ever written,” vocalist Patty Walters says. “We made a conscious effort to truly push ourselves musically and lyrically, to create something that didn't feel entirely safe or calculated. We wrote songs about our families, our personal lives, and our struggles more vulnerably than ever before, hoping to encapsulate sincere moments in our lives.

“We feel a huge sense of pride having created this record, and we're immensely excited to share it with the world. We love and cherish you all for supporting us and giving us this opportunity.”

The album will be available for preorder starting Oct. 14 at AsItIsOfficial.com.
