Q: What has the band just finished touring and what does the 'end of the cycle' feel like for you both?
The band has wrapped a long cycle with the current record and is transitioning into new material, with a sense of relief and a plan to take a break before writing more; it's about closing this chapter while staying hungry for new material.

Q: What do you have planned for the rest of the year?
At the time of recording of this, I've got Better Lovers next week, which will be really cool.
