Q: Tell us a little bit about the making of your new album. How has the music evolved or changed since your previous music?
A: All of our previous projects were self-produced and self- engineered, so right out of the box we new that working with producer Stephen Leiweke was going to push us to a new level. His creativity and musical intuition really breathed new life into these songs, taking them to a new sonic dimension. Beyond that, we really pushed ourselves with the songwriting process. We were far more delibarate with the parts, lyrics, and concepts. We really wanted to do more than just make good music on this record, we wanted to say something. So in that way, our approach was entirely different. This is also our first record as a five piece band, the addition of keys as the most obvious difference, and it has opened some new avenues for us stylistically. FE has been through a lot over the past two years individually and collectively, so this album really was an accomplishment and a statement for us on many levels.
Q: What is the song “Cryin Shame” about?
A: Cryin’ Shame is about living in the tension. We daily find ourselves struggling between the way things could/should be, and the reality of the messed up world we see around us. The song states, “It’s the cycle we’re living in; keep on trying, keep on giving in…”. On one hand, we know that things could be better, so we’re inspired to pray and love and work towards that end. On the other hand, we know that this planet is full of broken people who make mistakes every day, and we know that it will never be perfect until the end of the world as we know it. That is the cycle. That is the tension. So I’m left with the choice to either “shake my head and keep on saying it’s a cryin’ shame,” or to take action, even if I get nowhere. The song presents us with the contrast of these two opposing ideas and then begs the question, “what are we gonna do about it?”
Q: What do you all do when your not jammin? (hobbies, activities)
