Chaos Agents Podcast - Paintings (S0202)

In our second pod of the year, we had a great time chatting with Paintings, a Fort Collins band made up of Max Pliskin, Nathan Adams, Clay Kauffman, and Jolo Louis (our co-host!). Paintings (formerly Paintings of Decay) started making music at the end of 2023, has had many forms and iterations since then, with their sound constantly evolving in the process. Right now, they are bringing the noise and 90s-inspired sounds to the Fort Collins scene, having released their latest album, "Cricket" in 2026. Their single off the album I HATE IT HERE lowk goes so hard.

SPEAKER_11 0:06

Welcome back or welcome to the Chaos Agents podcast. This is season two, episode two, 2026 edition. Holy we got paintings of decay, and we are excited to have y'all. We've got a lot of overlap here because we got Jolo in the band as well. And uh we've got Nate, Clay, Max, Jolo, M, Elijah. Hello. Let's get it started. Um, just have to point out though, you are the resident Nepo baby for the pod, because this is your second time on the pod for a second. So we're calling that out. Just had to begin preferential treatment.

SPEAKER_02 0:49

We actually well. So you introduced this as Pannies of Decay, but this is a little announcement. We're changing the name. We haven't even announced it yet. Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 1:01

So what is so now what is it? What is happening?

SPEAKER_02 1:06

We're just paintings now.

SPEAKER_11 1:07

Just paintings.

SPEAKER_02 1:08

Paintings. Okay. We're we're dropping.

SPEAKER_13 1:13

Okay. S S. Paintings. A rebrand.

SPEAKER_07 1:18

Thank you for clarifying.

SPEAKER_11 1:19

It's like you it's like Dunkin' Donuts is now Duncan. It's like, wait, wait.

SPEAKER_03 1:23

Yeah, it's just cooler. Yeah, we're we're pulling in HBO. We're no longer decaying. I have to change our name again.

SPEAKER_07 1:31

What's the thought process behind the name change?

SPEAKER_03 1:34

I'm actually the only original member. Okay. And when I started it, like I was always kind of iffy on the like paintings of decay. And like every time someone would ask, like, what what's the name of your band, like I would be like embarrassed to say like paintings of decay. And I I don't it just doesn't feel like it like fits us, I guess. So like we'd always just call it paintings anyway.

SPEAKER_04 1:57

I mean, I think also we're like kind of a different band now.

SPEAKER_03 2:01

Yeah, because I'm like the only one.

SPEAKER_04 2:03

I'm the second oldest member, and like I think the band I joined is different from the band I'm in now. Yeah, we're very different.

SPEAKER_03 2:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 2:13

So do you feel like project-wise, like is it your project? Or like I don't know, like some bands are like like Jolo is like everyone kind of is building up Jolo. Tell me about the structure or or how this came about, give us a little history.

SPEAKER_03 2:27

It it did start as my project. And like our first album, I wrote most of the songs and like uh brought them to our like first band. I feel like when around when Clay joined, we started like writing more together. And now I would say, I guess I'd say it's like kind of like our project now. Like it I mean at least to me it doesn't feel like just my project anymore, like in a good way. Like, yeah, you know, I'm not like the only one like driving it. Like we kind of just write by like jamming. It feels almost like not like a supergroup, but like everyone, like Klay and Jolo and Nate, like everyone has their own projects, and then it feels to me at least like we kind of come together and like make something like kind of different. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 3:14

Yeah, for a bit there it was like I mean, before Jolo and Nate were in the band, I think we were probably the only two like coming up with stuff in writing. Yeah. I do in a way though kind of still see you as like the leader, quote unquote.

SPEAKER_03 3:28

Yeah, like I mean, I feel like every band you have like your the person who like Yeah, every band is like one or two people.

SPEAKER_05 3:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 3:37

Really? Like, I w I don't know, like it's not like I would because I guess it I like it feel it would feel wrong to like do any like paintings like without you guys for me, I guess.

SPEAKER_13 3:49

So yeah, ever since I joined it's been like super collaborative. Even just like with the the songs we've written.

SPEAKER_04 3:56

The new EP star is cool because it feels like it really doesn't feel like there was like a soul writer or soul like creative person, which is weird because almost every band I've ever been in is like really just like all of the songs are either I've written them all or and that's kind of it, and there might be like one or two songs that someone else writes. Whereas this this EP is weird because it's like no one like there's I'd say we each have like if if we didn't one of us didn't write one of the songs fully like all all of us did or two of us did, like it it's it's really kind of crazy how spread across the board the writing of this album or EP was.

SPEAKER_03 4:34

Yeah, because like if you remember at one point I was like I did write a bunch of songs like recently that I like brought to everyone. I was like, I want to do this. But then like I don't it just didn't feel like like we one song on the EP was the song that I just wrote alone and then like taught everyone. Two of 'em. Two of them. Wait. I Hate It Here and uh Concrete Walls.

SPEAKER_02 4:56

I Hate It Here was No, well, I Hate It Here was Oh I guess yeah, you kind of wrote that one.

SPEAKER_03 5:01

Well we wrote I Hate It Here, like I I thought what happened with that, at least my honestly I don't remember how a lot of the songs came together.

SPEAKER_02 5:11

We were smoking weird.

SPEAKER_03 5:13

Well yeah, it was like it was basically just do me and Joey Jam. Yeah, well that was before because Nate is semi he Nate's new to the band. He's very new to memory.

SPEAKER_02 5:23

We should talk about how we all came about, like into the band.

SPEAKER_07 5:26

Before we do that, um will you just say like what instruments you play?

SPEAKER_13 5:29

Oh yes. The weird thing is though, we're all multi-instruments. Which is really fun. You go first. Uh so my name's Nate. I joined recently. Um I'm pretty much singing. Um we'll probably add some synth play or maybe even rhythm guitar, hopefully. Even today, we kind of like were jamming with me playing drums. So either way, like I feel like again, we're all pretty multi-instrumental, but at least for paintings right now, definitely just doing vocals.

SPEAKER_02 5:55

And producing.

SPEAKER_13 5:56

Oh yeah, and just mixing engine yeah, just kind of doing that whole thing behind the scenes. Your turn.

SPEAKER_04 6:01

I'm clay. I'm clay. I I joined the band. I joined the band as just the drummer. Now I play guitar and drum and I sing on a few songs, and that's pretty much it.

SPEAKER_03 6:16

Uh I'm Max. I I when we started, I was playing like mostly guitar, um, and now I've kind of switched to like guitar and drums. I don't do vocals live, but on the EP I do some vocals here and there.

SPEAKER_02 6:31

Uh maybe one day I'll do live vocals, but I'm Joe Long and I play the bass, and I solely play the bass.

SPEAKER_03 6:39

Whoa. You should play more. Because I that's like the one thing with like this band that like Nate mentioned is like we're all kind of like producers and we play like a lot of instruments, like kind of like whatever, right? So and I feel like that's something that makes it like special. And uh I I think especially like after this EP, I want to like I I at least I I think it'd be cool to like do even more like experimentation and not not be like tied down to like the band the kind of structure that we have then. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 7:13

That makes sense. Uh that makes me think of Radiohead for Kid A. Um Tommy Rick just told everyone in the band, like, hey, none of you're gonna be playing the instruments that you normally play, we're gonna do something completely different, and then you're gonna learn to play something else for this album. And that was how they did it. And like that's the album was super electronic. Like it was all unfamiliar territory for all of them. Max, when did you start learning how to play guitar? Or what was your first instrument?

SPEAKER_03 7:40

Uh well, okay, technically my first instrument was guitar, but I was like I was like eight years old or something, and my uh like older brother had guitar lessons that he didn't want to do, so like I was kind of just like put into it, but I wanted I wanted to play piano, and then I took some piano lessons when I was like 11, and I think that was like when I first like actually started playing music. Um, but even that like didn't like stick super well. I couple years later took lessons again with this person who was less of like they were piano lessons, but um she kind of introduced me to the idea of like just like connecting with music instead of like being like just like one instrument. Um and then but then again I it didn't like stick and then when I was 16 that's when I seriously got into guitar. I was like my that was like my first instrument that I was like practicing all the time on my own. I I guess I practiced some piano, but like yeah, guitar was when I really got into it.

SPEAKER_07 8:50

Yeah, I get that. Okay, is there a song that you've written recently or that you released on the EP that your 16-year-old self would be disappointed with? Disappointed with a good question.

SPEAKER_11 9:01

That's actually like you and your question.

SPEAKER_03 9:07

No, that is a good question. Honestly, I feel like my 16-year-old self would be disappointed with most of the music that would be. Um my mind has like opened up a lot. I guess not most of there's some songs that like my young self would be like, man, that's really cool, but yeah, like because we've gotten like noisier and like just weaker.

SPEAKER_11 9:33

I wanna I wonder who's influencing that. It's clay. The answer is clay, always.

SPEAKER_04 9:41

Um I don't know. I mean, when I joined the band, it was kind of I suppose a little more straightforward like rock music, but I I think I don't know if I necessarily influenced it in the sense that like I brought it solely to the band. I think Max already had like a lot of that DNA in him because I mean from the moment we met we kind of instantly connected on that kind of thing. Yeah, exactly. Like that, I think we were both like in agreement that we wanted to make stuff like that because I sent you Cyclops. Cyclops, yeah. I sent you a uh a clay cane invertebrate song before clay cane invertebrates was a thing. And I think you were like, Do you want to use this for paintings? And I was like, No, but I'm glad you like it.

SPEAKER_03 10:23

I I don't think I I don't remember asking to use it for paint. I think I might have what I might have said is that like this is like the kind of music I always wanted to make.

SPEAKER_04 10:32

So oh yeah, maybe.

SPEAKER_03 10:33

Yeah, I I might have said that I don't remember.

SPEAKER_04 10:35

I don't know, it's hard to remember. I I remember I accidentally sent it to Eric before I was in the band, and he was like, Eric's our old, old bassist, by the way. And he was like, cool stuff, but you send it to the wrong person. I was like, oh, sorry. And then I was like, and then yeah, I think we we kind of connected on that. And and it wasn't, I think we were in like a weird um like sort of flux state as to what the band even was for the last little bit of excuse me, of having um our older members in the band because it was sort of this like push and pull of of us like sort of trying to make I think everything for all of our individual tastes. As much as I do love that era of my life and the band, I think it was they were all kind of it was it just I don't think we were fully bridging the gap.

SPEAKER_05 11:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 11:30

I mean well it sounds really powerful. I mean just how you're describing the creation of the EP. Like it's like super collaborative. Yeah, uh I I think that's rare. I think a lot of times it's like just a person's like, this is what I'm thinking, and like everyone just needs to fall in line. So it's cool that you do that, especially bringing a singer in. Like I'd be like, Nate, you being the singer, I feel like that's a little bit surprising for a band to do, like to just like bring in a singer. Uh what's your history with singing?

SPEAKER_13 11:58

Oh boy, um, so my mother is a vocal coach. I mean, she's been teaching voice and piano and songwriting my whole life. She's been doing that since she was about 20. So her whole whole career full of doing that. So I kind of got like I wouldn't say pushed into it but brought up in it. Yeah. Um constantly, you know, being a part of not even just voice, but piano. Um doing recital since I was little. Uh yeah. I've always been a singer, but never really like, hey, I'm a singer, you know. Um I feel that. Yeah. Recently, um moving to Fort Collins actually kind of projected me into the music that I knew I needed, like wanted to do, like, really, like, but um, yeah, thanks to Jolo for bringing me here. Um and I remember Joe was just mentioning, like, I think this was like months ago. This was before I even joined, but he was like, hey, paintings are gonna come over, we're gonna come listen to our EP. And I was like, that sounds cool, like, right.

SPEAKER_02 13:09

And we just like Dude, going back even further, that was our other EP too. That was before we had any of our music. When Nate wasn't thinking about moving down, paintings had a show. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And Nate was like, shit, I'll come check it out.

SPEAKER_04 13:24

And they watched us live at Lost Lake. At Lost Lake, and your bass broke at that show. Yeah, in the middle of the show, and Noah had to like Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 13:33

Like a string broke or just like.

SPEAKER_04 13:36

Yeah, it was the bridge broke. It was the bridge. The bridge was like, I don't know, the saddle was like riding too low, and it was just like buzzing, and there was no sustain on the nose. So Noah like put his finger under the part of the bridge to like hold it up, and uh that worked, I suppose.

SPEAKER_13 13:52

I don't think it worked, but I think he like played it off to where it's like I think it was a band aid.

SPEAKER_03 13:57

And uh yeah, Noah was our uh singer before he was our first singer. He's he's awesome. He he just uh I love Noah. Yeah, me too.

SPEAKER_11 14:06

Shout out Noah for missing, man. I have no idea where you are right now, but hoping he's living he's living in Denver.

SPEAKER_03 14:14

He comes with um he has a girlfriend up here, so he like comes back and forth, but uh he moved to Denver and so it was great.

SPEAKER_07 14:26

Joel had had you ever played bass in a band before?

SPEAKER_02 14:28

No, this was actually like I bullshitted my way into this band like straight up. They made a post and they were like, we need a bassist. And honestly, I hadn't even really played the bass. I didn't even think the bass was important in like music. I wanted to join a band so bad that I was like, fuck it, I'll do it.

SPEAKER_07 14:48

So is that how you include that?

SPEAKER_02 14:49

Yeah, literally, I I rolled up to the shed and clay and max were sitting on a curb.

SPEAKER_03 14:55

Because I I had seen your like um like your like influencer reels.

SPEAKER_02 15:01

Oh my god, and I'd be like, if this song sucks, I'll give you five bucks.

SPEAKER_03 15:04

And I was like I was impressed by like the confidence that that takes to like just like go out and do that. Oh my god, thank god I did that then. And like I remember you hit it hit it hitting us up and like uh just because I'd seen those, I was like, cool, like this suit seems like cool. And then uh yeah, I remember you like coming in, Jamie. I don't even did we even try out any other basics. I think we tried like one other basics. I don't think we tried anyone else. There I now that I think about it, there's like one person or so I don't know. You might have met with him on your own because it's yeah, I think I met with I was like, because I had to meet with I remember there's like this like metal dude, he was like I don't even remember um I do remember looking for the the drummer because that was that was interesting.

SPEAKER_02 15:55

Yeah, how did how did you join Clay?

SPEAKER_04 15:58

I was looking to join a band also because I didn't I hadn't been in a band in Fort Collins. And um Oh, I was on I was like going on Reddit. I don't know why I thought looking for a band on Reddit was the way. But Max was looking for a drummer on Reddit, and I Well I had too much. Yeah, we we met through Reddit and I hadn't it's weird because I'd actually heard of Paintings of Decay before. So I was like, okay, nice established band that you join. And then I don't know, I met Max like like April or something, in in April of like 2020. Is that 2023? Probably. Or four, no, it was twenty twenty four.

SPEAKER_03 16:38

Wait, was it 2024? Wait, yeah, it's 2024.

SPEAKER_04 16:41

Yeah. I met him in April of 2024, and then they I tried out. I I just met with Max because Eric and Noah couldn't be there, and I didn't get it. I didn't get in the band. What? We chose small.

SPEAKER_01 16:57

Oh my god, that's Laura.

SPEAKER_04 16:59

Holy shit! And then that guy wasn't and then that was maybe like, I don't know, I think April. I went I they had a show like in May, I think. May or June. No, it was it was May.

SPEAKER_03 17:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 17:13

And I went to the show just because I wanted to like keep the connection up and not just like be like, okay, well, fuck this. I I'm not fuck these guys, whatever. Like, um, I went to their show. And I remember you being like excited to see me. Well, cause I was like, oh wow.

SPEAKER_03 17:29

Cause like we went with another drummer at first, but uh the other drummer was I don't know if you know him, but Cohen from uh Spotted Bear. Spotted Bear, yeah. Um and he's like a nice guy, but so like Noah knew him like Eric knew him. They He had the Neppo. Yeah, no, he like yeah, he he knew uh more people in the band, and so like they wanted to go with him, but I remember like when I first told you that uh like we weren't gonna go with you, like I was still like I wanted to like keep meeting up. Yeah, keep meeting up. We did a few times.

SPEAKER_04 18:05

Like we we met up a a couple times to just like jam.

SPEAKER_03 18:09

Yeah. And um 'cause like yeah, because like I feel like we connected musically.

SPEAKER_11 18:15

So you were in a situation ship turning the bag.

SPEAKER_04 18:19

Cheating on me. Actually, he was cheating on the paintings. Then on July 4th, you were saying, would you still be interested in being in paintings? And I was like, yeah, for sure. I remember it's July 4th because I was at my dad's and I was like, oh.

SPEAKER_11 18:34

So then you DTR'd, okay. Now you're married. Situation shift? Oh. Oh shit. It was like it was funny.

SPEAKER_04 18:56

Uh I joined the band, well, you told me July 4th. July 7th is when I first rehearsed with you guys, and then my first show is July 14th.

unknown 19:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 19:04

So I learned like what are like eight or nine songs in like a week. Yeah. And yeah. And I was like, I was, it was the most I've ever practiced ever at any point in my life for any musical project.

SPEAKER_03 19:16

Really?

SPEAKER_04 19:16

Yeah. I was listening to them to you guys so much. Yeah. Like on Spotify and and shit. And like you.

SPEAKER_13 19:22

I was like me before you guys.

SPEAKER_04 19:24

I was literally like non-stop listening to you, like trying to figure all the parts out. And I did it somehow.

unknown 19:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 19:29

Oh, yeah, because I was.

SPEAKER_04 19:30

We played at Globe Hall in Denver.

SPEAKER_03 19:32

Because then Eric, like, we played a few shows together with Eric, our other bassists, and then that.

SPEAKER_04 19:39

Up until uh September. Up until September is when he was. Uh September, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 19:46

I don't want to interrupt. If you all have any questions, I don't want to step on that. So I I feel like I've been just great questions. No, please. Um dial it up. Well I'm curious what uh and this is for all of you. Um please answer it once, that'll be fun for Pager asking. Yeah. No, um what do you feel like what is this band trying to say?

SPEAKER_13 20:16

Three, two, one.

SPEAKER_02 20:23

We low key could, we low-key could. Like, like I think I know what the answer would be.

SPEAKER_04 20:29

Yeah, I think we all have different ideas of it.

SPEAKER_03 20:31

We should I I'm I don't know, but I do, especially after conversations.

SPEAKER_04 20:36

I get the idea that it's like our collective, like the four of us, or whoever's writing the song. I feel like it's our collective, like subconscious, like sort of like making whatever kind of um, I don't know, making kind of trying to make peace with like the outside world and what we what we like um love and hate about it.

SPEAKER_13 20:59

Yeah, yeah, what we hate. We've been really discussing it.

SPEAKER_04 21:02

And musically, I think what we're trying to do personally, I've always got the impression that we're just trying to like, I don't know, like air out what we what we have inside, I guess. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, like I mean music's always been like an outlet for me. So like it's it's the most, I think, like expressist expressionist and like free-minded, kind of like go in with no expectations project I'm a part of or have ever been in. Like I with my own band, I try, I'm very like, I think I have a lot of intent going into any given thing. And with Paul Mall Jesus, I it's like kind of like that too. But with this, it's a lot more just like I kind of just clear my mind and and go with my instincts a lot more. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 21:44

Yeah, I feel like it is that like kind of just like the project where you like it especially because like all or yeah, I guess all of us are in different um bands too. Like it it it's To me it feels like there's like just less pressure. It's just like kind of just like all about just like playing whatever music you're you're feeling at the at the time.

SPEAKER_02 22:13

For me it's like uh it's almost like flexing like some sort of muscle. Cause like it's so different from what I've ever been like exposed to.

SPEAKER_03 22:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:23

So like to like I don't know, go into every rehearsal or like writing session with like an open mind of like whatever we grab from the city.

SPEAKER_04 22:32

I think despite it being sort of the core of all of my other musical things I've I've done in in this city, I think despite that it's it's sort of like the least predictable of any of the bands. Like I I kind of never really know what's gonna happen with it.

SPEAKER_02 22:50

Which is sick because we can kind of do whatever.

SPEAKER_03 22:53

Yeah. That's like kind of a lot of it. It's just like I think that's why like I don't even remember how a lot of the songs were written on the EP, because like we'll just jam a lot and like improvise, and then it'll be like, whoa, that's like kind of a cool song.

SPEAKER_04 23:09

It's a mix of I I think the way a lot of it happened is kind of just like a very small idea or framework to build upon. We'll jam on it, we'll record the jam, and then we'll sort of pick out things we do and don't like, and then just kind of make a structure out of that. That's how it has been, but like I could think like even six months ago was pretty different.

SPEAKER_03 23:29

Yeah, we were kind of in a weird.

SPEAKER_04 23:31

We weren't really writing a lot six months ago. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:33

Six months ago it was only us three.

SPEAKER_03 23:35

There's like a time frame where it was Although I I guess like I mean, a lot of the EP was or not maybe not a lot of it, but like I hate it here, which is the first song on the EP. What are the other songs you've been playing? Normal Indiana. Was normal Indiana before Nate joined. Yeah, it was.

SPEAKER_13 23:55

I think B cause BL52 The only thing that we've written together with me involved was BL52.

SPEAKER_03 24:00

Yeah, BL52.

SPEAKER_13 24:01

And I guess I guess you can. But you contributed to all of them.

SPEAKER_04 24:04

Yeah, because I just kind of like put lyrics on them because I've got to be able to do the oldest song we actually had with the original incarnation. Well, minus Alex, but yeah. Um like with our with our original um singer and bassist, one of the songs is from that era. Wake up. Uh Wake Up, yeah.

SPEAKER_13 24:21

Yeah, damn. Um You guys have been playing Wake Up for years, it feels like. Yeah, you can really tell.

SPEAKER_03 24:27

Um well yeah, cuz because we had another EP that we were uh working on with Noah, and then just like Noah ended up having like his life got crazy, so it just like we were waiting for him to do vocals, I think, or something, and it just never really had that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:47

And then I was like, yo, I have a roommate.

SPEAKER_13 24:50

It's funny, back to full circle, whenever that you guys came over and were listening, I was just kind of just hanging out and kind of just like riffing, singing, like, you know, like, oh, like, because there was no vocals on any of the tracks. Oh yeah. And I was just like, oh, this was sound, like, you know, like not really thinking anything of it. And then I remember Max was pretty like, uh, I don't know about this guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It took a little, a little time. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 25:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13 25:17

But over time I feel like we've grown into a band. Yeah. Yeah. Like and it sound the sound that we've created, at least from what I've seen, has been pretty epic.

SPEAKER_02 25:28

Like, it's totally different. Yeah.

SPEAKER_13 25:30

I and I'm and it's funny because I don't really know the history. So I'm constantly like, I'm learning stuff. You're learning the lore. I'm learning the lore in front of you guys, is what they're talking about. So it's kind of cool.

SPEAKER_02 25:40

I'm curious to know what since you're the newest member of the band, like, what does this all mean to you? Like, what what do you think we're trying to say?

SPEAKER_13 25:48

Yeah, it's a tough question to ask. I don't know. And that's the thing, like, it was hard for me to fit in, you know. Because I didn't know like what you guys expected out of me either. You know, because like hearing like what Clay was doing on Normal Indiana, it was like, how would my voice even translate to like your caliber of like emotion? You know what I mean? I don't know. And that's like it feels like I'm growing up, you know. Yeah, it feels like this last like six months that I've lived here, I feel like a completely different person. Um I mean you change your hair like every two weeks. Every two weeks. And then I'll it'll be like green tomorrow or something. No, but um I don't know. I'm just excited. I think that's the most thing is like I'm just really excited to see like what comes out of it.

SPEAKER_03 26:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13 26:41

But also, like, I feel like a lot of our music right now is definitely like pertaining to what's going on in the world in like a very like subconscious, like very like, we don't even realize it, and then it kind of like it blooms itself like we were just talking about.

SPEAKER_04 26:58

Yeah, I think I think it'd be kinda it's it's like more personalized to us. Like it it's to me like I guess like like a like an inward take. I think that's kind of cool. I I think on the AP you get like like a like sort of like a smattering of all of our perspectives across like sort of what what what I think we all think is happening and how that like personally affects us.

SPEAKER_03 27:21

Yeah, yeah, because it's like I mean, like uh like a lot of it is like just per from like a personal experience, and like that experience obviously exists in like the current events that are going on. And so, um like it's very much like an expression of that.

SPEAKER_04 27:41

Yeah, we're not making any definitive statements about the world, but really more about like ourselves in it.

SPEAKER_03 27:46

Yeah, like how it feels to like go through it, I guess. Um, but like yeah, like Nate, like as you said, like uh I I feel like it's kind of been the case with like all of our members that like we kind of just like bring them in, don't really give them direction. Yeah, and just let it bloom. We we usually do it like two weeks before a show, too. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 28:11

Just to really make sure they're thrown in. I was done into the bushes, dude.

SPEAKER_03 28:15

I feel like Nate especially because we we didn't really have like it was just like it was just like calm.

SPEAKER_04 28:20

Yeah, we didn't show up. We didn't have any idea of what you would do.

SPEAKER_02 28:23

No, no, no, dude. The first show Nate played. It was mostly like Nate just like looking at us from the crowd, like damn it.

SPEAKER_13 28:32

Just time and like figuring out like it's also at a sorority. It was at a sorority with a bunch of parents.

SPEAKER_10 28:39

Wait, what? What menu is like a backyard?

SPEAKER_13 28:45

Oh, it was like a competition.

SPEAKER_04 28:49

It was a battle of the bands.

SPEAKER_13 28:50

Family night. That show was the first time me ever like doing like uh in a band or even performing or even singing, like, you know, like you went for it, bro. I just completely turned my switch off of being insecure and just shit.

SPEAKER_07 29:05

Yeah, yeah, like to improvise and like be looking for cues. Yeah, there was no cues.

SPEAKER_13 29:13

It was funny because it was out of frack because it felt like it was some like what's the word haze?

SPEAKER_03 29:19

It felt like it was like we're like hazing.

SPEAKER_13 29:22

Yeah, but and that's what Max said too. He's like, you're an embra or something like that.

SPEAKER_11 29:28

Or like you don't get the chords yet.

SPEAKER_13 29:30

That's for the next the night before I'm like, Max, can you like send me any lyrics for any of these songs or like anything? You're just like not bro, you gotta come up with it on the on the spot.

SPEAKER_07 29:40

So impressive, I'm not doing this.

SPEAKER_13 29:43

Yeah, and I was I was talking with Jolo, I was freaking out. I remember like a couple days before the show, I'm like, Jolo, like, what the fuck am I doing? Yeah, yeah. And Jo's like, What did you say? Smoke this cigarette. Yeah, shut up and smoke this cigarette. Which I'm really glad it I'm really glad I like decided just to say fuck it, you know, yeah. Let's do it. Now I'm really excited about what's to come, like, and also like I'm just really excited for the release of like our project. Dude, yeah, the the it sounds really awesome.

SPEAKER_03 30:18

He he mixed it and he did a really good job. Thank you. And he he also took on the burden of like you know, when you are mixing your own music and you just like listen to it.

SPEAKER_13 30:30

Oh, it's heard that resong a hundred times.

SPEAKER_03 30:32

Oh, the skeleton meme of like yeah, and then it's like like I don't even know if this is good anymore. I don't even know what I'm listening to anymore. He took that on, so I don't know. Some days you like it, some days you hate it.

SPEAKER_13 30:44

I listened to it again. I honestly have been to I took a break probably since like two weeks ago, and today I re-listened to it and I cried in the car and was like, This is sick, this is dope.

SPEAKER_11 30:53

Oh shit, you said we were happy with it, you didn't come back and be like, ah, you cried because it was so terrible. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_04 31:00

God, I fucking hate this.

SPEAKER_13 31:02

I let my emotions just run through and just that's exciting.

SPEAKER_07 31:06

Especially that two-week test. Like, yeah, you really give it space and be like, this is pretty good.

SPEAKER_04 31:12

Like, I do like day tests when I'm trying out amazing. I couldn't. I just do that and I come back and like is it dog? Yeah, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_13 31:19

Which I had done, I did that with our project like for a while. It would be like, oh, it sounds great, and the next day, like, oh fuck, oh fuck, dude, any creative project.

SPEAKER_10 31:30

Dude, like the longer you listen to shit, like your ears get like fucked up.

SPEAKER_04 31:34

Like it starts to lose like the you start to forget why you wrote it in the first place.

SPEAKER_03 31:39

Yeah. Yeah. But I'm just saying about like the EP, like it's I'm really proud of it.

SPEAKER_04 31:47

And it's it's it's weird to think that for as long as I've been in the band, I we've put out one thing with me in the band. Which is crazy.

SPEAKER_02 31:56

We wrote like the most music Calconius and Ledwenia. Oh, yeah, Ledwenia. Which is a great song.

SPEAKER_03 32:02

Great song that both Calconius and La Duena were when I mixed it. And at that point I was so burned out of like the like production side that I was.

SPEAKER_04 32:12

I think that was a weird era for the band too, because like I said, we were kind of like sorta really trying to redefine and like figure out what we were all about. It was a transitional phase, I think, between I mean, honestly, since having me in the band to where we are where we are now, because I I think without with with the original lineup with just you and Alex and Eric and Noah, it was like you you were one thing, and then all this kind of course of time it was like slowly becoming something else. Yeah. And um that's what that era I think of almost as like a like a sort of a big area of like reconstruction.

SPEAKER_03 32:51

Yeah. Because we when uh when wait, that was when Eric was on the band when we started. We were writing, um like we would meet up like a couple times a week in the morning because we had more time at the time, but uh, and we'd like write a new thing every day. We had like two demos. More, obviously, like close to 50, actually. They're all on my laptop. Yeah. Um, but like we kind of were suffering from like the like too many demos to finish. Yeah, we would like start one. Sometimes we'd finish it, but even if we did, we would be like, yeah, whatever. Yeah, you like lose your um, you know, lose focus or whatever. And they're all on my laptop, and uh one day I uh accidentally like drove on the highway with my my laptop on my on the roof of my car.

SPEAKER_04 33:52

Oh my god, I never even heard this story. Wait, it was on top of your car.

SPEAKER_02 34:00

And you got onto the highway somehow.

SPEAKER_04 34:02

We just like went off on the side. I was I was behind. You saw it?

SPEAKER_03 34:07

What's crazy, because I was like trying to think of the timeline, but I was like, mad, mad, match, and I was like, save the day.

SPEAKER_04 34:19

I still had it, I just never told you.

SPEAKER_03 34:23

I I I don't know if that's what happened, but I that one day I was driving, I left my house, and there's like a dip in the road, and like I my car like went on the dip, and I heard like a loud bang. I had stuff in my trunk anyways, and so I was like, whatever. And then I remember being on the highway, and then I thought like a piece of paper flew off the top of my car. It didn't hit anyone, luckily, like it could have been bad. Flew off and it landed on the side of the highway, and like I saw it in my rear view mirror. I was like, oh, that's weird. And then like that night or something, I was like looking for my laptop.

SPEAKER_13 35:00

That sucked so bad. Oh, yeah, that was like that happened to me. That's like big biggest fear, bro. That was my sad about that.

SPEAKER_04 35:07

Yeah, that kind of happened to me once when I was yeah, younger, when I was like 19 or 20. I had like years worth of every song I'd ever made. And and like I for I don't even know what happened. Like, I think I uh like I had an SD card with all of it and it got corrupted and it was just gone forever.

SPEAKER_03 35:27

Dude, it teaches it. It is a learning experience. And it teaches you to like let go of your attachment. Honestly, yeah, backups.

SPEAKER_04 35:36

It it makes you like it makes you like review like how how we you've been like, it makes you like kind of think differently about like restarting and doing like shit over.

SPEAKER_07 35:48

What happened when with you?

SPEAKER_13 35:49

Um, so I cracked FL Studio, I cracked like a bunch of different you know, plugins, VSTs that obviously like there were thousands of dollars. Like in in a block of all of them, like I would never be able to afford that. But I wanted all the good stuff because I was making like trap beats online.

SPEAKER_05 36:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13 36:09

And like honestly, the the beats that I made were like so amazing, and they're all in my email still, thank god, because that's how I would listen to them in the car, I would just send them to my email. Like all like the you know, like the the whole, what do you call it? The the like the the stems of it all. Yeah, just completely and all the like the cute songs that I wrote, and like you know, the really shitty rap songs that I wrote, and all the like the great like friends like come over and make like stupid songs and stuff. Yeah, it was just all gone, it was all corrupted. And then I ended up deleting the whole laptop and I gave it to my mother, and then I got a new laptop, and that's just the same laptop I had today. So, and that was in high school, so like senior year of high school.

SPEAKER_04 36:55

I I had the same laptop from high school too, which is crazy.

SPEAKER_07 36:59

I had a dinosaur stuff saved on Dropbox and I had like a new computer, and I didn't realize that the Dropbox was like downloading everything onto it, like the computer didn't have enough space. So I just was like, oh fuck, so I just deleted it and then like didn't really think about it, and then restored it on a different computer and was like, oh yeah, this is fine. And then like six months later was like trying to open somebody's files, and I'm like, oh my god. Where is everything? And like realized, like, holy shit, like seven years of work is just gone.

SPEAKER_13 37:33

Oh, but I will say the the really fun thing about that was all of those stems were gone, everything was gone. So all I had was like MP3, like a wave files. So I would go back and sample. Oh, that's actually a really good thing and it turned into like a new, new, like kind of like era almost. In like, you know, I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 37:53

Yeah, we do we do have those recordings, which uh luckily I have all the which this is reminding me that I should get a physical hard drive. Seriously, all of my stuff from the fucking terabyte backup hard drive.

SPEAKER_07 38:08

I think there's something to losing everything though, yeah. It's like really valuable because it was like, okay, well, I could give up.

SPEAKER_04 38:16

I can remake those songs better.

SPEAKER_11 38:18

Yeah, I feel like there's a process to that. You have to go through all five stages of grief when you're doing it.

SPEAKER_13 38:23

Yeah, I didn't make it so like you can't even look at the computer.

SPEAKER_11 38:27

You're just like, no, no.

SPEAKER_13 38:29

No, I was like that for one. I was heartbroken.

SPEAKER_06 38:31

Are there rules around our candy? I feel like every time you bring out more candy, it just encourages everyone to do that.

SPEAKER_04 38:36

I've had that before. You've had that before, maybe. I I like I like uh I like it. There's really no rules. I want whatever the most sour thing is.

SPEAKER_11 38:44

You can sour. Okay. Spicy.

SPEAKER_04 38:46

I don't want none of that spicy.

SPEAKER_11 38:48

This one is concerning.

I've had this before too, actually. You have? Yeah, the kid eye nanny got one of some of these before.

SPEAKER_11 38:53

SPEAKER_05 40:08

SPEAKER_11 45:56

Oh, that does not go to the bottom. It wasn't very spicy.

It's probably like it's like the Mexican candy type of thing. It is Mexican.

SPEAKER_03 47:44

Honestly, that's not even that bad. No, it's like got some like chili chili powder on it.

SPEAKER_02 47:48
