It’s been a month since we released our fifth studio album, “๐๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ค๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก!” ๐ŸŽ‰

And it truly has been a breakthrough for us in so many ways!

Firstly, this release has helped strengthen our connection with our true fans — those of you out there who genuinely care about us and the music we make. ❤️

Secondly, we’re incredibly proud to announce that, within its first month of release, “๐๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ค๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก!” ๐ก๐š๐ฌ ๐š๐ฅ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐œ๐ก๐ž๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ญ๐จ๐ญ๐š๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ก๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ข๐œ๐š๐ฅ-๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ญ ๐ฌ๐š๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐๐Ž๐“๐‡ “๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐€๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐š๐ญ๐ž!” ๐€๐๐ƒ “๐’๐ž๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐’๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ”! ๐ŸŽ‰

Lastly, Hoyt and I are showing no signs of slowing down! We’ve already started working on three new songs for our forthcoming album, “๐‚๐จ๐ง๐ง๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง!”

This connection is a responsibility that we don’t take lightly. It’s invaluable to us as independent music makers!

The Special UK Edition CD pressing of "๐ต๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘˜๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘”โ„Ž!" is starting to roll out and make its way into the hands of fans! ๐Ÿ’ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

We spent a lot of time designing the artwork elements for the UK pressing, which is different from its American counterpart in many ways. It includes a revised booklet, a different layout, and features information about the bonus track, “Then There Was You”! ๐ŸŽถ

Special shout-out to Jim Hampton for sending in these awesome pics!
