“AYII is a collection of roadside Souvenirs on the rural highway of our inevitable evolution,†shares Jon Stone. “Polaroids. Storms. Open fields. Tears. Therapy. Burning of fields to make way for new growth. We’ve attempted to open personal doors that have been patiently waiting, annoyingly, stubbornly waiting for a sliver of truth. Hopefully we’ve delivered.†Kristy Osmunson adds, “Parenthood. This album was created during the most pivotal time in life made while creating two humans. If I could capture the process this music brought about in five words I would say, sobriety, health, growth, responsibility and joy. This last five years has been a massive transition. Playing festivals, weddings, funerals, therapy sessions, and music lessons has become the soundtrack of life. ‘Gonna Be You’ landed on this planet the same weekend as my first son so I will love that song through eternity. As she always does, this music brought about a full revolution in my existence as a human.†The 11-track project was produced by American Young, Kyle Schlienger, Lee Brice, and John Vesley."
