Dear Highspire,

Our episode did a solid job discussing the band's arc--from your Philly roots and many-year hiatus to the creation of your awesome new album, 'Crushed'. A must own!

I enjoyed learning about your cinematic influences, including Steven Spielberg and Stanley Kubrick. Our talk delved into music influences such as My Bloody Valentine, Stone Roses, The Charlatans, and more. 

You spoke candidly about tremendous personal obstacles that reshaped your vision for your craft: lineup changes, setbacks,  career transitions, and the pandemic in 2020. 

I enjoyed hearing your analysis of your new album, including amazing songs that tackle themes of repetition, haunting, and identity. By the way, the album is quite intimate and sonically rich. 

Thank you again for the heartfelt storytelling and behind-the-scenes accounts of your friendship and songwriting. You've taken grief, resilience and produced something that is a great comeback. Now that's what I call gifted and talented.
