“Our songwriting process was somewhat hampered by the pandemic, of course. In 2021 we spent a week in a campervan outside Dom’s garage-studio writing 8 hours a day, and in 2022 I participated in the yearly ‘Song a Day’ project helmed by Erica Freas, where most of the rest of the songs of the album originated including ‘Religious Experience…’ and both pt 1 and pt 2 of Pedestrian Baby.” (frontman Callum Mcallister)
