Dear Miss Lonely Hearts, it's your fourth album. Yes. How is it sort of different from previous albums, or is it different from previous albums?

Uh, it's different in ways. There's there's like four songs on the album that kind of went more like a little more, uh, electroniky kind of a direction, and then there's certain songs that are more live, like more what we do typically, so. Yeah.

So how did that sort of more electroniky thing sort of come about?

I don't know. I think, uh, maybe modernizing a little bit, and maybe like, I don't know, kind of listening to things like New Order that was floating around, some Depeche Mode that they're here. Do you guys know that they're here?
