"Learning to hear differently is part of the progression. Your hearing evolves and the perception [becomes] more musical." -- Stephen O'Malley
"Above all, we're artists. It's about the craft and doing something different, not necessarily doing what's expected." -- Kacy Ritter
"I feel like music can put thoughts in people's minds. It's there to lay blueprints." -- Phil Moore
"Painting for me is like puking -- if you're sick, you're just gonna have to do it to feel better." -- Thea Wolfe
"It's always been a mix of goofy influences." -- Brian Esser
