The true genius is the fact that despite Santi’s ambition and sonic
variance (“Chop Chop” sports spaghetti-western riffing), the album never feels
disjointed or jammed together—and its cohesiveness is ultimately due to the
album’s inherent honesty. “I think we live by example,” Beckett explains,
stressing that it’s impossible to separate the band members’ music from their
personal lives because essentially they’re the same thing. “I’m extremely hopeful that we can show people there’s more to this world than just this limited scope of a scene.”
