Some excerpts read:
“There are two major factors to point out in the making of this record. Firstly, for Roads, we wrote the songs as a five piece band. There were different creative inputs and personalities that affected the writing and recording of that album. For this, Kerry and I reverted back to the way in which we handled the first set of Deafheaven songs by writing and recording the entire thing ourselves, outside of drums.”
“For me, drums have always been a bit of an afterthought which is strange because they certainly shape our sound, but as long as they were fast, I didn’t care much otherwise. That is definitely not the case with this record. There are sections where drums absolutely make the song pop, which is a huge development.”
“I named the record Sunbather because that’s the feeling it gives me. It is the sadness and the frustration and the anger that comes with striving for perfection. Dreaming of warmth and love despite the pain of idealism. It will be released in late Spring/early Summer through Deathwish Inc. and I can confidently say that this is the best product we could have come out with.”
