Cover artwork

The ep's coverart was design and made by C1 Design & Photography. The original photo was taken by Rebecca Siegrist, the Creative Director and Founder of C1 Design, at the State Lines Tour.[1]

Concept

The band and I just went into a studio and all sat around in a circle and played the songs and tried to approach them in little, different ways. Some of them are a little more stripped down than playing them live and some of them, there's a little more instrumentation. There will be different sounds, even on the songs people have heard before.
