'"Charlie the Stingray" was the first song we wrote as this current iteration of the band with our new members Jacob & Jonah, and it actually sat in limbo for a while before we made anything of it which is unusual for us. The main riff with the ascending blues pattern was composed about 2 months before anything else ever came of the song, as we were struggling to figure out where the song should go. In the end, after a few months of trying out different ideas we finally fell into the chorus that you hear on the recording, and then from there we slowly pieced everything together. It's pretty cool though, as I feel the bulk of the song has a groove to it which cannot be found anywhere else in our discography, and the chorus has this chill melancholy vibe which is a nice juxtaposition when compared to our typical bombastic choruses."' - Stephen Burdick The Stone Eye

'"The Cart Sessions was something we had hanging around in the back of our heads for a while and with the new tracks coming out/a less intensive schedule as of late, we decided to make it a reality. We felt as though it would be cool to play four of our most recent tracks (in no particular order) live in the studio to give our audience a taste of what it would be like to see us play live. As a result, you get four well-rehearsed live tracks to cherish forever on the streaming platform of your choice!"' - Stephen Burdick The Stone Eye
