Love the Lego movie reference! And of course the Kindergarten reference of not being able to communicate properly what you want to say, so you draw a picture. It’s too bad we couldn’t be as raw as Kindergarten kids and just draw what we feel without worrying about judgement. I’m loving this new album so much! Thanks guys! 🥰 And thanks to the station for allowing Sam to explain each song.

Really loving the new album, Sam! I have always enjoyed the psychedelic and rhythmic elements scattered throughout the SRB discography, but often my favourite tunes are the ones that are more stripped back because they have an intimacy to them that make them stand out from the broader full band arrangements or catchy concert bangers. Songs that come to mind are Words & Fire, A Stone Would Cry Out, Uprising Down Under, Sundance, Spellbound, War Chest to name a few. A lot of songs on this album are slower and have a lot of space in them, and a longtime wish of mine, as a fan, was to hear an album from you that had more songs scattered throughout that capture the vibe of those I mentioned, and brings your lyrical strengths to the forefront. In the interview you mentioned how the thoughts and concepts that have been built behind the songs often get missed by people who hear "a nice pop song" first, but this album encourages the listener to get even closer to what's being said and I hope you keep doing more of that. Well done!
