Welcome to BuzzMusic, To Whom It May. You've made your mark with your latest heavy-hitting and exciting single, "Upbeat Teeth." So where did you find the inspiration to create this powerhouse track?
I wanted to lead the album off with a driving riff that had forward momentum. Upbeat Teeth hit all those marks for me, and it created a nice bed of music to tell a story.
Was there a certain lyrical theme or message you wanted to convey through "Upbeat Teeth?" What did you want to make the listener think and feel?
'Upbeat Teeth' is about the destructive nature of being too sure of yourself, being a closed book, and not willing to learn and grow. Some see it in religion, some see it in pop culture, and it shows its teeth in many facets of our lives. It's about understanding were all capable of being that close-minded individual. The way to avoid it is to be ok with being wrong, learn from it, and say enough is enough.
Why did you choose to release "Upbeat Teeth" before your Olympian Gossip album? How does this single set the tone for the rest of the album to follow?
'Upbeat Teeth' is the first song on the new album and was picked to be so well before the album was fully written. It just had a vibe that felt right to pick up from where we left off with the last album. Both the energy and the meaning felt like a great starting point to introduce our audience to the new record.
How does the album 'Olympian Gossip' contrast your debut 2018 record 'The Great Filter?' Would you say the new record showcases your band's growth and experience over the last four years?
The new album definitely feels like a forward progression from our first record—both in songwriting and tonally. As for many musicians, the pandemic forced us to reanalyze how we approach creating music, and I essentially locked myself in my home studio and worked on self-producing this album for about two years. A lot of that time was spent failing on ideas that seemed too grandiose at the moment. By reaching for something bigger, I feel like the end result shows a growth that could not occur in any other way. The new album is something I'm truly proud of, and we can't wait to hear what the world thinks.
What's next for you?
The writing never stops. There are already plans for new music to be recorded. The goal is to keep creating and putting music out for our amazing and ever-growing fan base. We will also be hitting the road for some dates to support the new record as well!
