Can you talk about any specific themes or motifs that run throughout 'Embrace The Grift?'
Landis Wine (the lead in Opin): We started working on ideas once we moved to our new studio/practice space (Hospital Street) in mid-2020 after we had to cancel a run of Spring shows due to lockdown. Most of our initial jams during that period were done as a way to decompress from what was happening around us. We'd get to the space, set up our gear, play and record, and then dip. Not much conversation, just playing. So there's definitely a bit of dread and a healthy dose of catharsis in the mix. Musically, we all have a deep love of different types of electronic and dance music, and we pulled a lot of threads from various genres and tried to make them our own. MORE
