We write emotional and bittersweet songs that are really fun to dance to; like the idea of a California summer curtained in fog, our songs often subvert the expectation of a fun pop song.
Album titles are tricky. I mean, they have been for me. I think a lot of the record felt like it didn't want us to complicate it too much. Better Dreaming is one of my favorite songs we've ever worked on together. And it wasn't going to be a single. It's pretty down-tempo sad. So, (the album title) was a way of getting people to pay attention to that track more.
