When we set out to make Blue Sky Mentality, we knew it would be a bit of a wild ride. A lot of the record was written and pieced together on the road in hotel rooms, tour buses, or even backstage before shows. We didn’t have a traditional studio setup, but in a way, that made it feel more raw and real. The process was a whirlwind. We were hustling between shows, but those small moments of creativity.

Whether it was a melody that came to us during soundcheck or a lyric that hit us while we were waiting for a van, it ended up shaping the album in ways we didn’t expect. The whole thing was really done on the fly, and that chaos actually worked in our favor. It brought out a spontaneity that we love.

The title Blue Sky Mentality is really at the heart of everything we’re about as a band. It’s more than just a name, it’s a mindset that’s been with us from the start. We wanted this record to feel like a burst of light, even though it touches on some tougher emotions. Life can get heavy, but we wanted to make sure that there’s always room for optimism. When you hear the album, you’ll notice that balance: some tracks feel light and uplifting, while others are more reflective, almost bittersweet. It’s about embracing the highs and lows, and finding moments of joy, no matter what.

Sonically, we really leaned into that big, indie-pop energy. We love those euphoric, anthemic moments, the kind of songs that feel like they’re meant to be sung loud at festivals or during long drives with the windows down. The single Home kind of set the tone for what we wanted the album to be: catchy, layered, and full of life. That said, we’ve heard mixed reactions. Some people really vibe with the polished, festival-ready feel, while others think it might be too smooth, maybe even a little too clean. We don’t mind that contrast. It’s part of what makes the record interesting, there’s a balance between the rawness we came from and the polished finish we ended up with.

We also have to mention the way we approached the release of Blue Sky Mentality. The success of Home was a huge launching point for us, and we’ve been super mindful of how to take that momentum into the full album. We timed the singles, placed them in the right spots, and made sure to tap into new audiences through gaming playlists and festival spots. For us, it’s the first big step in establishing who we are as a band. But there’s definitely a pressure to live up to that success. How do you take viral moments and turn them into something that’s cohesive and genuine, without losing the heart of what made people connect with you in the first place? That’s something we’re constantly thinking about.

At the end of the day, Blue Sky Mentality is both a reflection of where we are now and a reminder of how we want to keep moving forward. It’s about being optimistic, staying adaptable, and making sure we never lose that spontaneous, DIY spirit that got us here. We’re not really concerned with fitting into any particular box. The album is a snapshot of where we are a moment in time, and we’re just excited to see what people make of it.
