"Forty or so Damaged Bug tunes from the past seven years were orphaned / unfinished, which is pretty rare for me. I just kept having other things going on and life kept getting in the way. And frankly, the songs were all over the place so I didn't see a thread in there, but in light of current events in the world, I feel like it's every artist's calling to construct personal messages cloaked in a moments of escapism. That's what this record is for me-was something to clear the decks a little bit in my studio and relax my mind and keep the wolf from the door. It's a bit of a joyous / sad record dealing with hope and forgiveness, two things which I hope end up more in my life. "It's abstract and poppy, fried and sugary. "It exactly how I feel at the moment fried and skewed."Good luck out there and I hope this turns off the torrent for you, for a moment."- John Dwyer
